Women and Depression
Women are nearly twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with depression. Depression can show up without warning as a persistent low mood, feelings of sadness, guilt, hopelessness, lack of pleasure in life, thoughts of suicide, and other bothersome physical symptoms that send us to the doctor with no apparent cause. Hormonal changes as well as differences in how we respond to stress--often times, blaming ourselves--are believed to play a role. Whatever the situation, no one chooses to become depressed. Sometimes, professional help is needed to feel better.
How I Help
We are so much more than our diagnosis. While we examine the symptoms you are experiencing and what may be underlying your Depression, I will focus on your strengths and desires--not just your lows. Together, we will chart a way forward that puts you back in the driver's seat of your life. When it comes to dealing with Depression, I'm in the business of helping make your life easier. That means sharing hope and encouragement as we help you find sustainable, practical solutions. Book an appointment today.
Therapy for Depression
Talk therapy is a proven frontline treatment for Depression. Seeking therapy helps us feel less alone and makes the weight of Depression that much easier to manage. With the support of a trusted professional, we can try new strategies to help us cope with our worst symptoms and find relief. Some people may benefit from pursuing medication; in therapy, we can receive referrals for medical providers, as needed. See mine here. Depression is a treatable condition.
