Understanding Depression
If left untreated, clinical depression can lead to deep feelings of helplessness, despair, and isolation. It can be difficult to feel as though anyone understands or cares about what you are going through, and these thoughts can sometimes overwhelm your ability to think clearly and rationally. Previously rewarding activities like connecting with family and friends may fail to spark interest, enjoyment, or enthusiasm.
If the description of these feelings resonates with you, it’s important to reach out for help.
When To Get Help For Depression
There are a wide range of symptoms of depression, and any one person may experience a combination of them – it’s the persistent and overwhelming nature of these feelings over an extended time that indicates a need for professional help.
Some symptoms are emotional, including feeling sad, losing interest in normal activities, becoming withdrawn from friends or family, apathy, feeling worthless or guilty, having suicidal thoughts or crying for seemingly no reason.
Other symptoms can be physical, including low energy, fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite, increased sleep, trouble concentrating and remembering things, slowed body movement or speech, restlessness, being unable to sit still, pacing or hand-wringing, diminished sex drive, feeling sick and run down, digestive problems or a churning gut.
Often, individuals experiencing depression are also facing other challenges, the most common being anxiety issues. Depression often occurs alongside other addictions or health issues, including smoking, drug use, alcohol dependence, eating disorders and internet/gaming addiction and relational issues.
If you are experiencing a combination of the symptoms above, and it is impacting your ability to function at capacity, then we recommend seeking counselling or depression treatment.
