How Does Depression Counseling Work? 

Depression counseling isn’t just about the emotional and mental effects you experience. Depression often takes a toll on your physical health, too, and a skilled therapist can help you mitigate those physical issues, too. 

Depression can make sleeping difficult and can lead to changes in appetite and weight, as well as: 

• A persistent feeling of sadness or despair
• Sexual dysfunction in men and women
• Sleep disturbances, such as insomnia
• Changes in appetite and/or weight
• Low self-esteem
• Loss of concentration
• Irritability
• Social isolation and loneliness
• Substance use or addiction
• Fatigue
• Suicidal thoughts or ideation

You might experience some of these symptoms but not others, as depression can vary in presentation and severity. That being said, if you are experiencing more than one of the symptoms on this list for at least two weeks at a time, it’s possible you might be battling depression. Is it time to talk to someone about what you’re feeling?
