Break Free From Depression: Reclaim Your Joy and Hope.
Do moments of sadness seem to linger longer than they should, shadowing the joy of everyday life? Depression goes beyond temporary blues, embedding itself into the fabric of your life and stealing away the pleasure from activities you once loved. At Skills4LifePsychology, we are here to help you break free from the grip of depression, guiding you towards a future where happiness isn’t just a fleeting moment, but a sustainable state with our Depression Counselling.
Everyone experiences sadness from time to time. It’s a normal human emotion. However, when sadness persists and interferes with your daily life, it could be a sign of depression.
Understanding Depression:
Depression can manifest through a variety of symptoms, from persistent sadness and loss of interest in life to physical ailments like sleep disturbances and changes in appetite. Recognising these signs is the first step towards seeking help. It’s crucial to understand that depression is not a sign of weakness; it’s a health condition that requires professional support.
Signs of Depression:
Loss of interest or pleasure in activities you once enjoyed
Appetite problems such as binge eating, overeating, or loss of appetite
Sleep problems, ranging from insomnia or difficulty sleeping, to hypersomnia or over-sleeping
Withdrawal from friends and family
Restlessness or feeling slowed down
Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or remembering things
Fatigue or lack of energy
Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide
If you’re experiencing these symptoms for more than two weeks, it’s important to seek professional help.
