Therapy for Depression
Besides feeling sad and listless, here are other common symptoms of depression:
- Lack of motivation
- Irritability
- Discouragement and lacking hope
- Lessened interest in others and in previously enjoyable activities
- Procrastination and avoiding challenges
- Trouble making decisions
- Lessened interest in sex
- Feeling guilty and disappointed in yourself
- Insomnia or oversleeping
- Increased negative thinking and pessimism
- Life seems daunting
Scientific research shows that cognitive behavior therapy works better for depression than medication. I have seen many of my clients come in and after some good therapy gradually lower their antidepressants with the guidance of their physician. Many of my clients find relief in realizing that their struggle does not own them and they can once again have hope for their lives. If you want to finally lighten your load and feel like yourself again, contact me today. I’m glad to answer your questions about the help I offer.
