Moving your way out of depression can be tough.
You are not alone in this struggle. Over 20 million adults in the U.S., or about 8% of adults, suffer with symptoms of depression.
Depression actually has a number of causes; from genetic, situational, biological, or even environmental. The good news is that having depression doesn’t make you weak or a bad person. And, treatment can help.
You may have discovered that depression seeps into many areas of your life; from the way you think, feel, and behave, to day-to-day functioning. It can change your ability to go to school and work, or take care of your health and family. Depression really can strip a person of a sense of wellbeing.
Symptoms may include:
- Disinterest in doing things you normally enjoy
- Persistent sad, or anxious mood
- Hopelessness, lack of motivation, or interest in life
- Pessimism
- Sense of worthlessness
- Decreased energy
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Sleep disruption or poor quality
