It can affect all aspects of your life, such as your relationships, work, physical health, and overall well-being.
Cognitive and somatic symptoms of depression can include:
Is depression impacting your ability to lead a fulfilling life?
Depression occurs in response to a complex interplay of factors, such as difficulty with emotion regulation, genetic vulnerability, or as a response to stressful life events.
While the causes for each individual are complicated, they can stem from:
Why does depression occur?
Past life experiences & trauma
Societal pressures & perceived expectations
Biological or medical factors
Environmental factors or current life experiences
Family of origin influences
While multiple factors contribute to the development of depression, it is a treatable mental health condition and there is hope for recovery.
Depression can be isolating, but it doesn’t have to stop you from connecting with the individuals and things you love.
- Therapy helps pinpoint the life problems that contribute to depression.
- Therapy helps identify negative or distorted thinking patterns that contribute to feelings of hopelessness and helplessness that accompany depression. Certain types of therapy can actually restructure your brain by modifying thought patterns
- Therapy can help you regain a sense of control and pleasure in life.
