depression therapy in Nashville
The signs of depression are there
Everyday feels like too much. Sometimes it doesn’t even feel worth getting out of bed. The day drags on without any hope or joy. You experience persistent feelings of sadness. You tell yourself everyone feels this way from time to time, which is true, but the endless feelings of hopelessness, sadness, and fatigue are signs that you may be experiencing depression. You can’t even enjoy the little things that used to give you energy and joy. You might intentionally stay in more often than you used to, isolating yourself from others.
Symptoms of depression include:
Apathy
General discontent
Hopelessness
Loss of interest/pleasure
Agitation
Difficulty sleeping
Change in eating patterns
Desires to harm oneself
Lack of concentration/slowness in activity
Sleeping more than usual
If all of that sounds normal, you may have depression or high functioning depression. Yes, you’re able to go to work or school everyday and function, but these feelings of sadness and sapped energy are preventing you from engaging with life. Depression looks different for everyone and doesn’t come in one shape or size, and that’s why our work with you will be specific to your needs.
