Depression Therapy
Depression can feel like you’re trapped under a heavy weight that you just can’t shake. It’s not just about feeling sad—it’s a deep, lingering emptiness that seems to follow you everywhere. You might find yourself feeling exhausted all the time, no matter how much rest you get. Even simple tasks that used to be easy can start to feel overwhelming, like you’re wading through thick mud just to get through the day.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), approximately 21 million adults in the U.S. experienced at least one major depressive episode in 2020, representing about 8.4% of the adult population. Depression isn’t just an adult issue—about 4.1 million adolescents aged 12 to 17 also experienced major depression, which is around 17% of that age group.
You might notice that things you once enjoyed no longer bring you pleasure. Hobbies, socializing, even spending time with loved ones—it can all start to feel pointless, like nothing really matters anymore. There’s a numbness that creeps in, making you feel disconnected from the world around you, as if you’re just going through the motions without truly being present.
Emotionally, you might be dealing with feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or hopelessness. It’s easy to become your own harshest critic, focusing on what you think you’ve done wrong or how you don’t measure up. Sometimes, these thoughts can become so overwhelming that you start to question your purpose, or worse, consider harming yourself just to make the pain stop.
Physically, depression can take a toll too. Maybe you’ve noticed changes in your appetite—you’re eating too much or not enough. Your sleep might be disrupted, either because you can’t sleep at all or because you’re sleeping too much. Your body might feel heavy and sluggish, like it’s harder to move or get out of bed.
Overall, depression can feel like a dark, unrelenting cloud hanging over you, making it hard to see any light or hope for the future. It’s a feeling of being stuck, unable to move forward, with no clear way out.
If This Sounds Like You?
Remember, you don’t have to face it alone—there’s help available, and with the right support, you can find your way back to feeling like yourself again.
Rediscover Joy and Purpose
If you’ve been feeling down, disconnected, or simply not like yourself, depression therapy at the Center for Psychological Health and Wellness can help you find your way back to joy, purpose, and a sense of meaning in your life.
Depression doesn’t look the same for everyone—it’s a complex and personal experience. You might feel a persistent sadness, struggle with fatigue, or find yourself unmotivated and empty. Some days, it might be hard to even pinpoint what’s wrong, as you feel numb or detached from the world around you. Depression can also show up as a lack of energy, an inability to find pleasure in activities you once loved, or a deep sense of hopelessness. It can make you question your self-worth or even lead to thoughts of self-harm. Whatever form your depression takes, it’s important to remember that you don’t have to face it alone.
At the Center for Psychological Health and Wellness, we recognize that depression is one of the most common mental health challenges affecting people today. We’re here to support you with a treatment plan that’s as unique as you are.
