Depression may be causing you difficulty in doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel as if life isn’t worth living.
Some people with depression may feel some or a number of the following feelings – persistently sad, anxious, hopelessness, pessimism, guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness, fatigue, appetite and/or weight changes, difficulty sleeping, aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems without a clear physical cause and/or that do not ease even with treatment and or thoughts of death or suicide, or suicide attempts and many more associate feelings.
Talking with a therapist can help:
• Understand the behaviors, emotions, and ideas that contribute to your depressed state.
• Understand and identify the life problems or events—like a major illness, a death in the family, a loss of a job or a divorce—that contribute to their depression and help you understand which aspects of your problems you may be able to solve or improve.
• Regain a sense of control and pleasure in life.
• Learn coping techniques and problem-solving skills.
