Depression

The sadness is overwhelming.

There is no pleasure associated with any aspect of your life. Activities that you once enjoyed now seem uninteresting.

Your feelings make concentration difficult, and this is affecting your work and relationships with others.

Everything seems to irritate you, or you just feel tired and uninterested.

Feelings of being worthless make you contemplate ending it all. You just can’t shake those thoughts.

This type of sadness and the feelings it elicits are not something that fades away. These feelings are signs of depression and signal the need for help.

Depression persists and sadness remains.

Depression is more than feeling unhappy or fed up for a few days.

Most people go through periods of feeling down; but when you’re depressed, you feel persistently sad for weeks or months rather than just a few days.

Some people think depression is trivial and not a genuine health condition. They’re wrong – it is a real illness with real symptoms.

Depression isn’t a sign of weakness or something you can “snap out of” by “pulling yourself together.” Identifying the cause of depression and finding a solution require professional help.

The good news is that help is available.

As a therapist trained in the treatment of depression, we can identify the underlying cause of your depression. Then, together we can work to eliminate that sadness that keeps overwhelming you.

With the right treatment and support, most people with depression can make a full recovery.

Let me help you recover from whatever is causing your depression. Life should be enjoyed and full of meaning, rather than sadness.

I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
