It’s not just “extreme sadness”.
We hear this a lot. Often times, people would downplay depression as just an extreme form of sadness. It’s not.
Depression is a common but serious mental health disorder that affects how a person feels, thinks, and handles daily activities. It can be characterized by a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in activities that one typically enjoys.
Depression can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease a person’s ability to function at work and at home.
How would I know if I’m suffering from depression?
Depression can manifest in many different forms. Are you experiencing any or multiple of these symptoms?
Persistent sadness or low mood
Loss of interest or pleasure
Constant anxiety
Increased substance usage/abuse
Changes in appetite or Weight
Having troubles sleeping
Fatigue or loss of energy
Difficulty thinking or concentrating
Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
Suicidal thoughts
If the answer is yes, you might be suffering from depression.
How do I treat depression?
There is no one-size-fit-all approach when it comes to treating depression. This typically involves a combination of psychotherapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. An effective treatment plan should be tailored to an individual's specific symptoms, severity, personal preferences and needs.
The good news is: We are here to help! You do not need to go through it alone. Our therapists are specialized in treating depression and we do so with compassion and empathy. Some techniques and approaches we are trained on include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), etc.
