Depression

What is Depression ?
Depression is more than just feeling sad—it’s a persistent state of emotional and physical exhaustion that can affect every part of life. Even simple tasks can feel overwhelming, motivation may be hard to find, and you might feel disconnected from yourself and those around you.
People with depression often experience changes in sleep, appetite, and energy, along with feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness. It can stem from genetic, environmental, or life circumstances, but the important thing to know is that depression is treatable. Understanding your symptoms is the first step toward finding relief and regaining balance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Depression Therapy
How does therapy help with depression?
Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore what’s contributing to your depression. You’ll work with your therapist to identify negative thinking patterns, address emotional challenges, and develop practical coping strategies that help improve your mood and overall well-being.
What type of therapy works best for depression?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is often used to help reframe and change negative thought patterns that fuel depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult emotions and committing to actions that support your values and goals.
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) can help if your depression is connected to relationship challenges or social stress. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teaches relaxation techniques, like meditation and deep breathing, to ease symptoms like fatigue and anxiety.
