What Exactly is Depression?
Depression is a mood disorder that causes feelings of sadness, despair, and hopelessness. It can affect your ability to work, sleep, eat, and enjoy life. Depression can be mild or severe, but it always takes away from your quality of life.
There are many different types of depression, including major depressive disorder, postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), persistent depressive disorder, and dysthymia. No matter what type you have, mental health professionals can help you manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Has Depression Taken Over Your Life?
Battling depression can feel like an uphill battle. This often misunderstood mental illness can make it difficult to do the things you enjoy or even get out of bed. You may be tempted to ignore these feelings, but that is the last thing you should do. Depression can lead to other problems like anxiety, addiction, and even suicide if left untreated.
Thankfully, depression is highly treatable. To treat depression, we must first understand it. Depression is caused by a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors. This means that there is not one single cause of depression.
Depression counseling can help you:
Understand your depression and how it is affecting your life
Identify your personal triggers and symptoms
Develop healthy coping mechanisms
Get back to living a fulfilling life
How to Know if You Need Help for Depression
It’s normal to feel down from time to time, but if you are experiencing the symptoms of depression on a regular basis, it’s important to seek help. While no one knows the exact cause of depression, there are certain risk factors that can make you more susceptible. These include a family history of depression, trauma, chronic stress, mental disorders, and certain medical conditions.
The important thing to realize is that anyone can experience depression, and there is no shame in getting help. The following are some depression symptoms to be aware of:
Loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy
Persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or emptiness
Changes in sleep patterns (insomnia, oversleeping)
Changes in appetite or weight
Irritability or restlessness
Fatigue or decreased energy levels
Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
Thoughts of suicide or self-harm
If you are experiencing any of these depressive symptoms, then you are likely struggling with depression. The good news is that there are many effective treatments available. Depression counseling can help you get to the root of your depression and find lasting relief.
What Happens in Depression Counseling?
In depression counseling, you will work with a mental health professional to explore the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are contributing to your depression. You will also learn about different techniques for managing your depression.
Depression counseling is a safe place to talk about the things that are bothering you. It can be helpful to talk to someone who understands what you’re going through and can offer impartial support. A therapist can also provide guidance and resources for dealing with depression.
Affordable Therapy for Depression
Depression counseling is a vital part of treating depression, but it can be expensive to see a therapist privately. Mindscape Healing offers affordable therapy for depression that is available to everyone. We believe that no one should have to suffer in silence because they can’t afford treatment.
Depression therapy is more than just focusing on the negative. It’s also about exploring the positive and learning how to cope with difficult emotions. Our counselors utilize evidence-based treatments, which have been shown to be effective in treating severe depression.
