Support for Depression

About this concern

Understanding Depression

Depression can show up in different ways, and the experience is not the same for everyone. Some people notice low mood, loss of interest, fatigue, isolation, irritability, hopelessness, difficulty concentrating, or feeling disconnected from routines and relationships. These concerns can affect motivation, sleep, appetite, work or school, relationships, self-care, and the ability to experience pleasure or hope. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution or a substitute for appropriate medical, psychiatric, or emergency care, but it can provide a structured place to understand what is happening, identify goals, and consider practical support.
