Depression
Common Symptoms
Depression and high-functioning depression can sometimes be difficult to recognize, especially when individuals are able to maintain their daily responsibilities. Here are some symptoms that people with depression may experience:
Persistent feelings of emptiness or numbness
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Changes in sleep patterns (insomnia or oversleeping)
Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities
Constant fatigue or low energy
Unexplained physical aches and pains
Perfectionism or setting unrealistically high standards
Excessive self-criticism or feelings of worthlessness
Irritability or a short temper
Social withdrawal or canceling plans frequently
Difficulty experiencing joy, even during positive events
Changes in appetite or weight
Using work or busyness as a coping mechanism
Persistent worry or anxiety
Neglecting self-care or personal hygiene
If you're experiencing several of these symptoms for an extended period, it's important to reach out for professional help. Remember, seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Our therapists are here to help you navigate these feelings and develop effective coping strategies.
We Get It
We understand that people facing depression experience unique challenges that can often leave them feeling isolated and overwhelmed. By fostering a safe and supportive environment, we can help you explore your thoughts and emotions, enabling you to articulate your struggles and identify coping strategies tailored to your individual needs.
Together, we will work on building resilience through mindfulness techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, and goal-setting exercises, empowering them to regain a sense of control and hope. Our goal is to support you in navigating your journey toward healing, helping you to cultivate healthier relationships with yourself and others, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling life.
