Depression

Depression

Depression shows up in multiple ways. Sometimes it can look like withdrawing from activities or a change in functioning, while others appear totally functional from the outside. Either way, depression can leave you feeling drained by usually enjoyable activities and generally feeling helpless.

Depression often robs people of the hope that things can feel better, but starting Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be a great first step. Most people notice that as they work on changing previously rigid thought patterns and develop new coping skills, their mood and ability to feel hopeful about the future shifts as well.
