Though depression is marked by feelings of hopelessness, there is good news in that even the most severe cases of depression can be effectively treated. As licensed marriage and family therapists, I use a comprehensive approach to the treatment of depression, enabling patients to overcome the often debilitating symptoms to recover and live their lives to their absolute fullest.
Symptoms of depression often include prolonged sadness, lack of interest in activities, insomnia, fatigue, irritability, appetite and weight changes, suicidal thoughts, feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, and difficulty in concentration.
Those who suffer from prolonged episodes of depression are more likely to become addicted to alcohol, drugs and self-destructive behaviors, exacerbating the symptoms of ongoing depressive episodes. Early treatment with therapeutic counseling and sometimes medication have been proven to help people break the symptoms of depression, allowing them to regain their lives.
