Do you often feel numb and disconnected or constantly exhausted?

Are you just going through the motions, without much joy?

Does the future look hopeless or bleak?

When we experience depressive symptoms, it can take every ounce of energy to just get out of bed. The things we “could do to help” often just feel too overwhelming and burdensome. The things that used to matter to us can feel empty and pointless.

Hopeless thoughts and feelings can hold us captive in a dark pit of despair.

Yet, this is an example of the insidiousness of depressive experience. Depression can rob us of a sense of optimism for the future and make us feel as though nothing could help, even if we had the energy to try! Therapy for depression can help bring the optimism back.

Everyone experiences depression differently, but here are some common symptoms of depression:

• Feelings of worthlessness and self-doubt

• Sense of failure

• Sleep disturbance

• Isolation and withdrawal

• Feeling numb and detached

• Excessive crying

• Changes in appetite

• Trouble organizing thoughts and concentrating

• Difficulty completing tasks

• Lack of interest in pleasurable activities

• Suicidal thoughts

• Self Injurious Behavior
