Understanding Depression

Depression is more than just feeling sad or having a bad day. It’s a serious mental health condition that can profoundly affect your mood, thoughts, and ability to carry out daily tasks. Many people with depression experience a deep, persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed, and overwhelming feelings of guilt or worthlessness.

Common symptoms of depression include:

• Fatigue or low energy

• Difficulty concentrating

• Sleep disturbances (too little or too much)

• Changes in appetite or weight

• Restlessness or slowed movements

• Persistent feelings of sadness or disconnection

• Loss of interest in relationships and hobbies

• Thoughts of death or suicide

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, you’re not alone. Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) affects millions of people, but effective treatments are available. Therapy can help you understand and manage your depression, so you can begin to regain control over your life.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy offers a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore the causes of your depression, develop healthier thought patterns, and learn practical coping strategies.

Whether you're just starting to notice the symptoms of depression or you've been struggling for years, seeking professional support is a powerful step toward healing and recovery.
