What causes depression?
There are many reasons we may feel depressed. Depression can result from factors such as genetic predisposition, biochemical imbalances in the brain, life stressors, and more. Seasons of depression often come after a major life change, significant loss, or trauma. While feelings of sadness are normal, sadness that won't seem to go away may be a sign to reach out for help.
What are common symptoms of depression?
Depression can be experienced in many different ways. Some of the most common symptoms include a loss of interest in activities that you used to enjoy, changes in your appetite or weight, sleep disturbances, fatigue, and feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness. You may find it difficult to concentrate and notice yourself becoming irritated more frequently.
​
Here are a list of additional symptoms often seen in others experiencing depression:
​
-
Sleep patterns change (either too much or not enough sleep for extended periods)
-
Appetite changes (wanting to eat more or less than usual)
-
Recurrent thoughts of death

Is it normal to struggle with depression?
Yes, depression is the most common reason for seeking counseling so you are not alone. It's important to recognize that feeling overwhelmed or experiencing sadness is a normal part of life. However, we don't want to stay there. There is not a universal cure for depression. We must identify the root causes to determine the most effective treatment. For some, this treatment will include talk therapy, for others it will include medication or some combination of the two.
