Depression

Sometimes we are devastated by an event that completely shatters our world. Other times we feel "off" or "not ourselves" and don't know why. Or things that used to be fun and satisfying just... aren't. I get it.

Ups and down are a normal part of life, but if your mood is low and it's impacting your ability to function at your best, you may benefit from mental health treatment (i.e. talk therapy, medication, or a combination of both). 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help you build skills to manage your mood, respond differently to the situations that make us feel bad, or make the choices necessary to live a happier and more authentic life. 

Some signs of depression that could warrant seeking support may include:

• feelings of sadness during times you "should" feel happy

• difficulty completing tasks (e.g. work or school)

• lack of  interest in (or ability to) socialize with friends

• less time spent on normal hobbies/routines

• engaging in (or thoughts of) self-harm behaviors

These are just a few examples, and depression can show up differently for each of us. If you'd like to discuss if working together to improve your mood could help, reach out today to request a free 15-minute phone consultation!
