Is it worth going to therapy for depression?

It is absolutely worth going to therapy for depression — depression counseling helps people better manage their symptoms and get back to living happier lives again.

  • Fatigue

Depression counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, dependent on the severity of one’s depression as well as their needs and preferences.

What Causes Depression?

Depression can be caused by a variety of events and even runs in families. Depression also does not only affect a certain group of people. Sadly, there is no one specific reason that people develop depressive feelings.

Sometimes it can be obvious, like losing a job or a loved one, and other times it can come from a variety of factors like going through a breakup, being stressed about school, arguing with a loved one, and dealing with the changing seasons. This mood disorder can also come and go.

Symptoms of Depression: What Are They?

The type of depression you have and the way it affects you can be completely different than the feelings of depression your friend experiences. Depression is most often associated with feelings of sadness, but there are a number of other physical and emotional symptoms that someone can feel. Some of those symptoms are: 

  • Feelings of guilt
  • Irritability
  • Suicidal thoughts or actions 
  • Persistent fatigue 
  • Difficulty falling asleep or difficulty waking up 
  • Loss of appetite
  • Difficulty making decisions 
  • Unexplainable aches and pains that don’t lessen with treatment

My wife and I had an excellent experience with our amazing counselor Sam. We reached out for help with communication and intimacy issues and he helped us make real positive change in our lives. The strategies we developed with Sam have made a huge difference and we feel more connected than ever. He was always attentive, thoughtful, and accommodating to our busy schedules. The option to meet remotely or in person was a huge plus for us. We highly recommend his services.
