Signs & Symptoms of Depression

Depression affects both mental and physical well-being, often making daily life feel overwhelming. Common symptoms include:

• Persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness.
• Loss of interest in activities once found enjoyable.
• Fatigue or low energy, even with adequate rest.
• Changes in sleep patterns or appetite.
• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions.
• Withdrawing from social interactions and relationships.
• Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or self-doubt.

If these symptoms persist, professional support can provide guidance and relief. Therapy offers a compassionate space to navigate these challenges and work toward healing.

What to Expect From Depression Therapy

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but it is a powerful one toward healing. Depression therapy provides a safe, judgment-free space to explore your thoughts and emotions while learning effective coping strategies. Your therapist will work with you to create a personalized approach, whether through cognitive techniques, mindfulness, or, if you choose, faith-based counseling. Each session is an opportunity to move toward a healthy, fulfilling life.
