Common Questions About Depression Therapy
What is depression and why do I experience it?
Depression can feel like a lot to handle. The way it affects people can show up differently for each person. Depression is often characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in activities that were once enjoyable. It can lead to physical symptoms, such as changes in appetite, sleep, and energy levels. Depression can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, life experiences, and brain chemistry.
It’s important to remember that depression is not a sign of weakness, and it’s not something that you can simply “snap out of.” However, with the right support and treatment, it is possible to manage and overcome the feelings that are keeping you from living fully.
In our sessions, we work together to explore the possible causes of your depression and develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs. You are not alone in your experiences, and we know it is possible to find hope and healing.

Is medication necessary to treat depression?
