Depression

Depression is more than occasional sadness. It is a persistent state of hopelessness, lack of interest in activities, and overwhelming fatigue. This condition can affect all areas of life, including work, relationships, and overall well-being.

Common symptoms include trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating, irritability, feelings of worthlessness, and physical complaints such as headaches, digestive issues, or body aches. Depression impacts both mind and body, making daily life feel challenging.

Various factors can contribute to depression, including genetics, brain chemistry, environmental stressors, and life events such as the loss of a loved one, relationship difficulties, financial strain, or major transitions. In some cases, depression can develop without an obvious trigger. Each person experiences depression differently, and understanding your unique situation is essential to managing it effectively.

When should you seek help for depression? If you are constantly feeling down, withdrawing from social interactions, or experiencing a lack of motivation and energy, it is time to seek help. Therapy can provide you with the tools to manage these overwhelming feelings and help you understand the root causes of your depression.

Left untreated, depression can escalate, often leading to additional issues such as anxiety or substance abuse. Seeking therapy early can help you address the problem before it affects other aspects of your life.
