Depression Therapy
Depression can affect how a person thinks, feels, and experiences daily life. It may show up as persistent sadness, hopelessness, isolation, guilt, loss of interest, or feeling disconnected from oneself and others. For some, depression develops gradually; for others, it follows a significant life event or period of stress.
Depression is not a personal failing, and it is not something that defines a person. Many individuals experience relief simply by understanding that what they are feeling has an explanation and that there are effective ways to move forward.
