How Can Counseling Help?
If you are suffering from any of these symptoms you may benefit from counseling. Depression can take over our lives and it can keep us from doing our best in many areas of life:
- As teenagers, we may find that it is more difficult to pay attention in class and complete assignments on time.
- As adults, we may have trouble getting out of bed and getting to work on time, or we may lack the energy and enthusiasm that we need to do our job well.
- At home we may find it difficult to stay on top of household tasks.
- As parents, we may find it difficult to have enough energy to interact with our kids or keep our patience with them when they are not listening.
The important thing for you to know is that you are not alone. Depression can present in many different forms and it affects over 16 million people every year. We are here to help.
