Depression is a mental health disorder that affects mood, including how you feel, think, and behave. Everyone feels sad sometimes, but when it starts to affect your ability to perform daily tasks and your ability to enjoy things that typically bring you happiness, you may be suffering from depression. The symptoms of depression vary from person to person, but often include feeling miserable without a clear reason why, anxiety, agitation, insomnia or sleeping too much, hopelessness, changes in eating, and/or foggy thinking. Depression may also cause recurrent thoughts of death or suicide (or even a wish that it would all 'stop' in an abstract sense). If you think you might be suffering from depression, a qualified mental health therapist can help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s depression experts today!
Sometimes running away from your problems seems like the only solution, but that often leads to isolation, loneliness, and irrational thinking patterns. Ultimately, you get stuck and can see no way out. But it wasn't always like this and it doesn't have to continue to be this way. Get unstuck and start to let people back into your life again. And, sometimes, that starts with that one person you can trust.
