Therapy for Depression

Life presents us with a fair share of challenges, losses and struggles. It is a normal reaction to feel lonely, sad, or depressed under such circumstances. When these feelings become overwhelming, long lasting and cause physical symptoms, they likely interfere with our ability to lead a productive normal life.

Common symptoms of depression include:

• Sadness
• Pessimism
• Feelings of helplessness and hopelessness
• Feelings of guilt and worthlessness
• Loss of interest in activities and things you once found to be pleasurable
• Inability to feel joy
• Restlessness, irritability, feeling anxious
• Thoughts of death or suicide
• Fatigue and little energy
• Insomnia, early morning waking, or sleeping too much
• Loss of appetite or overeating, weight loss or weight gain
• Digestive problems
• Headaches, back pain, and other aches and pains
• Trouble concentrating
• Difficulties remembering details

Do any of these thoughts enter your mind?

• “I am worthless and I can’t do anything about it.”
• “I hate who I am these days.”
• “I can’t stop crying, which makes me want to stay away from others.”
• “I feel gut wrenching pain, but no one understands.”
• “My life and the world around me are dark. I hate it.”

If you have had any variation of these symptoms and thoughts and you don’t feel like your usual self, chances are you may be suffering from clinical depression.
