SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION:
If you notice the following symptoms of depression, it’s important to seek professional help promptly. Depression Therapy is a safe, effective way to regain balance in your life. Remember: your feelings are valid, and seeking help is a sign of strength.
- Persistently feeling sad and ‘empty.’
- Not finding pleasure or loss of interest in activities that you used to love
- Decreased energy and feeling tired all the time
- Feelings of worthlessness, like you’re not enough.
- Feelings of hopelessness, like things won’t get any better and will only get worse.
- Difficulty sleeping and/or sleeping too much
- Changes in appetite, not eating or binge eating
- Restlessness and irritability, like you’re always about to snap.
- Thoughts of death or suicide
Depression and anxiety can also stem from life stressors, such as chronic illness or prolonged high-stress periods.
When to Seek Professional Depression Therapy
Depression is real, and it can be life-threatening. If you or someone you know shows signs of depression, seek therapy immediately. You don’t need to have every symptom listed to benefit from professional help.
Depression looks different to everyone. For example, men tend to be more irritable and angry while women take on feelings of worthlessness and persistent sadness. Men also tend to behave recklessly and misuse alcohol when depressed. For teenagers and kids, the signs usually include self-harm, use of recreational drugs and/or alcohol, poor performance at school, extreme sensitivity, and avoidance of social interaction.
Like many other mental illnesses, it’s not exactly known what causes depression. But a combination of biological (hormones, brain chemistry, and genetics), psychological, and environmental or social factors play a role in it.
Depression therapy, including psychotherapy and sometimes medication, can help manage symptoms and restore mental well-being.
