depression therapy

Depression is a state that many of us experience. It feels like a huge, dark weight that you constantly carry around with you. Depression basically sucks all the energy from you leaving yourself feeling lethargic, demotivated and lifeless. It affects our thoughts, emotions and behaviours including having little to no hope for the future. Depression can affect our jobs, relationships, or even daily routines. It can lead to insomnia or over-sleeping, little to no eating or too much eating, and feelings of worthlessness. Depression also increases the risk of having thoughts of suicide leading to self-harming or attempts to end your life. It can be caused by different situations and can affect everyone differently. You may know what has caused your depression, or you may not. Perhaps it is from the loss of a loved-one or you experienced a distressing life event. Maybe you have had constant feeling of disappointment, anger or frustration.  Whatever the case, you should not feel the need to deal with it alone.
