What is Depression?
What does depression feel like? The symptoms of depression can vary; however, there are certain symptoms that tend to be more common than others. These symptoms often come and go over time. Though it is possible to suffer from one symptom alone, most people who are affected by depression will experience multiple symptoms at once or at different points in time.
Symptoms of Depression may include:
A persistent feeling of sadness and emptiness.
Loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyed.
Problems focusing or an inability to concentrate.
Decreased energy levels or feeling tired all the time.
Feeling extremely guilty.
Loss of appetite or a significant increase in appetite.
Having thoughts of suicide or death.
Restlessness or irritability.
Chronic pain that does not respond well to treatment.
Different sleep patterns, sleeping more or less than usual.
Thoughts about hurting yourself or your body
Drinking alcohol more often than normal or using drugs to cope with feelings.
It’s Important to Note:
Everyone experiences low mood from time to time as a normal reaction to life’s events. However, these feelings are usually only short-lived and pass within a few days or weeks.
When you’re depressed, your low mood is more severe and lasts for an extended period of time.
If you find yourself experiencing these feelings and they last for more than two weeks, contact us today to learn how we can help.
How Does Therapy Help?
Therapy is an effective way to manage depression because it can provide you with tools to deal with day-to-day struggles, improve your quality of life and prevent your depression from returning.
Different types of therapy are available that focus on different areas to help you learn skills for managing difficult emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Therapy also provides a safe space to talk about your struggles with someone who can give you an outside perspective. This can be helpful in itself as it can support you through times of difficulty and help you explore ways to cope with your difficulties that may not have occurred to you before.
Therapy gives you the time, space, and support for exploring things that are important to you at a pace that suits you.
You deserve to feel better! You are not alone in your struggles, and there’s a solution for what is causing them. Reach out today with an email or phone call to learn how New Spark Counseling can help you!
