Therapy for Depression
What is Depression?
Depression is a mood disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in activities that were once enjoyable. It is a complex condition that impacts an individual's emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being.
Common Symptoms of Depression
- Persistent Sadness: A hallmark symptom of depression is a prolonged and pervasive feeling of sadness, often with no apparent cause.
- Loss of Interest: Individuals with depression may lose interest in activities, hobbies, and social interactions that once brought them joy.
- Fatigue: Depression can lead to extreme fatigue and a general lack of energy, making even simple tasks feel overwhelming.
- Changes in Sleep Patterns: Depressive symptoms can disrupt sleep, causing insomnia (difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep) or hypersomnia (excessive daytime sleepiness).
- Appetite Changes: Depression can affect appetite, leading to weight loss or gain. Some individuals may experience changes in food preferences.
- Difficulty Concentrating: Depression often impairs concentration, memory, and decision-making abilities.
- Feelings of Worthlessness: Individuals with depression may experience overwhelming guilt or feelings of worthlessness.
