Depression

"Feeling sad, empty, even hopeless?"

Depression. You know the feeling; it’s like a ton of bricks weighing you down. You feel sad, empty, even hopeless much of the time. It’s more than just a “case of the blues”- it lingers for days, months, and even years. These feelings can cause a great deal of damage in your life if left untreated.

Some symptoms of depression include:

  • Fatigue or decreased energy
  • Feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness
  • Loss of enjoyment in favorite activities
  • Insomnia
  • Feelings of irritability, anxiousness and restlessness
  • Overeating or loss of appetite
  • Inability to engage in everyday activities, including work or school
  • Substance abuse
  • Thoughts of suicide
