What Is Depression Therapy?
While these symptoms may feel inescapable, the good news is that therapy can provide a lifeline to manage and navigate these symptoms of depression and find freedom from it.
Depression can make life feel bleak and hopeless. When you are experiencing sadness you might think you are just having a bad day or are in a funk. If you notice this funk lasting longer, or happening more often throughout your life, you may be experiencing depression. Some common symptoms of depression are:
feelings of sadness
low motivation
lack of interest in activities that were once enjoyable
fatigue
changes in appetite
difficulty concentrating or focusing
feeling worthless
sleeping too much or too little
Understanding The Root Causes
Therapy often starts by validating how difficult and painful the depression symptoms are. A good therapist will help you feel understood and provide empathy for what you're going through.
From there, therapy can help uncover the roots of depression, whether childhood trauma, brain chemistry, genetics, situational or other factors. Bringing these potential causes to light takes away their power and mystery.
Once the sources of depression feel a bit better understood, therapy provides tools to start addressing them. This may involve processing past trauma, learning coping techniques for overwhelming emotions, adopting lifestyle changes to support mental health, and identifying distorted negative thought patterns. A therapist will work with you to identify the tools that work best for you and help you manage your symptoms using those tools. As you gain skills to manage depression, the grip it has over your life slowly loosens.
What Are The Signs or Symptoms?
When it comes to understanding how different triggers affect an individual's depression levels, it is also important to acknowledge that each individual will go through the symptoms of depression in their own unique way. Identifying the symptoms of depression is crucial in seeking the appropriate help and finding the strategies for healing. In therapy, each individual will be given the space to explore exactly how depression shows up in their lives and why it may be present. Common signs of a depressive episode include:
Persistent Sadness: An overwhelming feeling of sadness that persists over an extended period.
Loss of Interest: A lack of interest in activities once enjoyed, leading to social withdrawal and isolation.
Physical and Mental Fatigue: A constant sense of fatigue, even after getting adequate rest, coupled with difficulty concentrating and making decisions.
Changes in Sleep: Insomnia or oversleeping
Feelings of Worthlessness: Low self-esteem and a constant sense of self-blame, even for events beyond one's control.
