Depression

Dr. Wayne Bullock

Psychologist, PsyD, MEd

Life is filled with challenges. We all approach these challenges in characteristic ways that are shaped by the life we have lived up until that moment. Some times, the way we respond leaves us feeling depressed, as if life is empty, barren, or so deeply unsatisfying we would rather not participate fully. Depression then can become reinforcing, because being depressed limits opportunities to find moments of happiness or connection. Therapy examining what led to the depression in the beginning, as opposed to a "band-aid" approach of only trying to reduce the depressed feelings, can not only result in you feeling less depressed, but aid you in living a life even more thriving than before you were depressed.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Are you stuck in the same cycle just trying to get from day to day? Are you experiencing a transition that never seems to end? You may have noticed that you are not coping in the healthiest of ways. Perhaps you’re starting to disconnect and distance yourself from others— avoiding invites from friends or family, letting calls go to voicemail and ignoring texts for weeks. Not to mention, you also feel worn out and no amount of sleep seems to help. There’s still time to make some changes.

I’ve worked with hundreds of clients on major to minor life issues to provide clarity, relief, and understanding that allows for a way forward. I would love to join you on your journey.

Depression

Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds

Psychologist, MA, LLP

Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in things and activities you once enjoyed. It can also cause difficulty with thinking, memory, eating, and sleeping. It’s normal to feel sad about or grieve over difficult life situations, such as losing your job or a divorce. But depression is different in that it persists practically every day for at least two weeks and involves other symptoms than sadness alone. Symptoms of depression can be debilitating. Depression is a common mental health condition that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and changes in how you think, sleep, eat and act. There are several different types. Depression is treatable — usually with talk therapy, medication, or both. Seeking medical help as soon as you have symptoms is essential. Medications and psychotherapy are effective for most people with depression. Your primary care doctor or psychiatrist can prescribe medications to relieve symptoms. However, many people with depression also benefit from seeing a psychologist or other mental health professional. If you have severe depression, you may need a hospital stay, or you may need to participate in an outpatient treatment program until your symptoms improve. Contact a therapist today to help assess your levels of depression.
