Do You Have Depression?

It’s normal to feel sad sometimes – it’s a sign of a healthy mind. However, if sadness lingers for weeks, months, or even years without reason, it can evolve into feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, and numbness – classic signs of depression.

Depression can impact every aspect of your life, affecting your thoughts, emotions, and interactions, leading to increased physical and emotional problems.

Signs & Symptoms of Depression

Constant Mood Swings

Mood swings can result from depression, anger issues, trauma, or current life situations. We focus on identifying and addressing the root causes to help you achieve emotional stability and peace.

Isolation & Lonliness

Modern life often leads to social isolation, exacerbated by the post-pandemic world. Meaningful relationships are crucial for mental health. Talking to a professional counselor is a powerful step toward overcoming loneliness and building connections.

Harmful Thoughts

Persistent negative thoughts can trap you in a cycle of pain and fear. Our therapists help you challenge and overcome these thoughts. We provide support for those experiencing self-harm ideation.

Avoidance & Fear

While avoidance and fear can be protective, persistent and irrational fears can become problematic. We help you identify the sources of these feelings and develop strategies to overcome them.

Stress & Anxiety

Stress and anxiety are prevalent mental health issues due to the complexities of modern life. Our therapists help you manage stress and anxiety. Unmanaged stress and anxiety can lead to physical illness and mental breakdowns.

Irritability & Anger

Occasional anger is normal, but persistent and random anger can harm relationships. We help you understand and address the root causes of your anger to work towards a calmer, more controlled mindset.

More On Signs of Depression

Hopeless outlook on life

Depression manifests through various symptoms that often exacerbate each other. The mind can become trapped in a cycle of negative emotions.

This unproductive cycle makes the situation feel hopeless and unmanageable (it’s just an allusion, don’t believe it’s real). It’s common to feel there’s no way out.

Fatigue

A prevalent symptom of depression is a persistent lack of energy.

This fatigue can prevent you from engaging in enjoyable activities and create a cycle of inactivity, further deepening the depressive state.

Sleep Problems 

Depression often leads to insomnia, which in turn can worsen depression and anxiety – one cycle that creates another vicious cycle.

Anxiety 

While not definitively caused by depression, anxiety frequently coexists with it and compounds the emotional burden. Anxiety is natural and necessary – we show you how to manage it.

Turbulent Emotions

Unexpected bursts of anger followed by sudden sadness can indicate depression, which can cause significant mood swings similar to bipolar disorder.

Losing Interest 

Depression can lead to a loss of interest in activities and relationships you once enjoyed, including hobbies, sports, music, and even sex.
