Do you feel sad most of the time?

Lack energy and motivation?

Is feeling depressed taking the joy out of your life?

Have you lost interest in things that you usually enjoy?  You might feel trapped by sadness, like things will never get better or be right again.  Your life might feel empty and unfulfilling, even if things might look fine from the outside.  Depression can affect your health, your sleep and your appetite.  You might be feeling hopeless.  You might feel like giving up.  You may feel suicidal or just that things would be better if you were not here.

Everyone feels sad sometimes.  However, if you feel a constant, lingering or recurring sadness that lasts more than two weeks and interferes with your life, you might be suffering from depression.

Depression is a serious issue, an illness, that is very common and treatable.  Counseling can help.  Depression counseling can help you learn to cope with sadness, to learn new tools to overcome your sadness to improve and enjoy your life again.

“How can I feel happy again?”

“I should be able to get over this.  Maybe I’m just weak.”

Depression often makes one feel hopeless, beyond help and inhibits you from seeking help and taking action for yourself.  These are common struggles.  Research shows that counseling can be very effective in treating depression.
