While many of us think of depression one-dimensionally, the truth is that depression is a complex emotional disorder whose effects can impact everyone differently. Most people think that depression is simply about feeling sad all the time. For some, feelings of sadness and hopelessness are present, but there are also days where these sensations are gone, and in their place lies apathy. Still, for others, their depression manifests high points of bliss that bottom out into despair.

With the help and support of a counselor or psychiatric provider at Thriveworks in Billings, MT you can learn to manage your depression. Reach out today to get started.
How Can a Mental Health Professional Help with My Depression?
