Depression
Depression is a mental health condition that affects how a person feels, thinks, and behaves. It goes beyond temporary sadness and can last for weeks, months, or even years, interfering with daily life, work, and relationships.
Common symptoms include persistent sadness, emptiness, hopelessness, loss of interest in once-enjoyed activities, fatigue or low energy even after adequate rest, changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, and sometimes thoughts of self-harm or suicide.
Therapy helps individuals understand the root causes of depression and provides strategies like CBT to reframe negative thoughts to foster a more positive outlook, build healthy routines, set achievable goals, and strengthen relationships and connection with others. Therapy aims not only to help in the short term but also to provide tools to help prevent future episodes of depression.
