How do I know if I am depressed instead of just feeling sad?
Depression is not only about feeling sad. Everyone feels down from time to time due to various life stressors. But, people with depression experience a persistent low mood accompanied by a variety of symptoms they just can’t seem to shake. Not all people with depression experience it the same way.

Difficulty concentrating
Lack of motivation
Sleep disturbances
Feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, and sadness
Easily irritated
Low self-esteem
Thoughts of self-harm
Some of the most common symptoms people with depression experience are:
In some cases, people with depression experience thoughts of ending one’s own life and/or are preoccupied with death and dying. If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide or death, there are resources readily available to you 24/7.

You don’t have to do this alone! Depression treatment can help.
Working with a depression therapist will help you explore how your depression affects you. Together, you can find adaptive ways to cope so you can live a more fulfilled life. Through an eclectic and strength-based approach to depression treatment, we will pull from a variety of modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT); Motivational Interviewing (MI); and more. By using these modalities, your depression therapist can find which techniques best meet your needs. We will work together to sort through your negative thought patterns and replace them with more positive ones.
A better tomorrow…
Life doesn’t always have to be this way. Depression treatment gives individuals the opportunity to experience brighter days. As you begin treatment you may begin to feel the chains that have been holding you captive start to loosen. Positive thoughts replace negative thoughts. Healthy habits replace maladaptive ones. A new sense of freedom and hope starts to develop. Your self-worth is activated, and you begin to experience joy again.
