Depression
Erik Edler
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
Depression is more than sadness or numbness or a feeling of no energy. The primary emotions, like sadness, grief, discouragement, or loneliness can be difficult, but they're something a person can cope with. The difficulty with depression is that it's not a primary emotion, but a dysfunction of emotion. At the heart of depression is the fact that we are keeping something pressed down, which is the true meaning of de-pression. Often, people don't even know what they are keeping pressed down, and that's where therapy can help. As with all my work, I look for the root cause, so that a client can be truly free from the depression that has troubled them.

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
More than feeling a little down in the dumps, depression is the overwhelming emotional exhaustion that comes from losing hope, feeling there isn't a purpose, and feeling like your life or circumstances have gotten away from you. Change feels impossible - and like too much work if we even knew where to start. Psychotherapy for depression offers a safe space to explore circumstances, thoughts, behaviors, and options. Therapy is a place to identify and challenge negative thoughts, build healthy coping strategies, and enhance self-esteem. In therapy, you'll gain compassionate support and evidence-based interventions that give you tools to rebuild and get through things.

Depression is caused by many factors; some are biological, some are social, and some are psychological. It is growing steadily among all age groups, but most commonly seen in the 25-45 age group. It is growing at the fastest rate in children and adolescents. Depression in a family can suck up all the energy of a household, turning a home into a black hole of swirling negative emotions. Develop effective coping skills and relationship skills to manage your emotions and overcome depression!
