When you're feeling down for a prolonged period of time, you may well be experiencing some form of depression. Whether genetic or situational, together let's uncover the source of your pain.
Having a hopeless or helpless outlook on your life is the most common symptom of depression. Other feelings may be worthlessness, self-hate, or inappropriate guilt. Common, recurring thoughts of depression may be vocalized as, “It's all my fault,” or “What's the point?”
Depression can ruin your life, yet it is one of the most treatable diseases we see. Talk therapy is highly effective. We can talk about your symptoms and develop practical ways for you to cope. Your mind may be telling you there is no hope, but that is not true.
