Depression

Understanding Depression

Depression is a common mental health concern that affects how people feel, think, and manage daily life. It’s more than just feeling down, it can last for a while and make everyday activities feel more difficult. Depression can develop gradually or suddenly and may be influenced by stress, life changes, genetics, or brain chemistry. It’s a valid and treatable condition, and seeking support is a strong and positive step.

Its Impact

Depression shows up differently for everyone. It might include low energy, changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty focusing, or losing interest in things you usually enjoy. Some people may feel more withdrawn or overwhelmed. While these experiences can be challenging, they’re also very common, and you don’t have to go through them alone.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy offers a caring and non-judgemental space to talk through what you’re going through. We can help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings, and work with you to build tools for coping, healing, and feeling more like yourself again. Many people find that with the right support, it’s possible to feel hopeful and reconnected with life.
