therapy for depression treatment in manhattan

you don't need to snap out of it, you need a support system to help you through it.

You know sadness is a normal part of life and that's why you did not notice the depression symptoms at first. Chalking up the lack of interest in your usual hobbies and activities to being in a funk or just having a bad day. You thought you would ‘snap out of it’, but then days turned into weeks and then months. When did things that came easy become so hard? You just want things to go back to how they were before.

The things that used to be so easy now feel impossible, like keeping up with friends, keeping a clean apartment, or even doing your morning routine. You don’t feel connected to yourself or the world around you. You’re feeling more irritable and less tolerant of others around you and find yourself crying frequently. This leads you to think "What's the point?" when you do try to engage in activities that used to make you happy. You miss the easier times when things didn’t feel so heavy.


You are finding it harder to stay focused and motivated to accomplish even the smallest tasks of everyday life.

You often feel a deep sense of sadness that doesn't seem to lift.

what is depression?

Depression can be described as having a prolonged low mood, feeling of worthlessness, difficulty getting out of bed or doing activities, and feelings of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness. Depression can vary for all individuals. Some people have been experiencing depression for years, while others may be just experiencing their first episode. Sometimes, a depressive episode can be influenced by a stressful situation or event such as losing a job, the ending of a relationship, or a major life transition.

For some women, depression symptoms can be influenced by their menstrual cycle. Depression can also be biological, in which it is influenced by the brain’s mood regulation or genetic factors. For many individuals, a combination of biological and environmental factors contribute to the onset of their depression.


WHAT ARE COMMON DEPRESSION SYMPTOMS?

Each person's experience with depression is different along with the intensity and severity of the symptoms. However, there are common depression symptoms to look out for. Those include the following:

  • Loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable
  • Feelings of sadness, emptiness, and hopelessness
  • Lack of energy or fatigue
  • Changes in sleeping patterns
  • Unexplained aches and pains
  • Feeling sluggish or slowed down
  • Difficulty concentrating and focusing
  • Overwhelming guilt or worthlessness
  • Difficulty making decisions
