Depression and sadness can weigh you down — impacting your relationships and life.
Everyone feels sad or down from time to time. But, persistent feelings of depression, sadness, or hopelessness can cause problems in your everyday activities, relationships, and work.
More than 21 million adults in the U.S. are affected by major depression every year. But only a third of people seek help from a professional — often because they feel they aren’t depressed “enough.”
Your symptoms or situation may start small. You may start to feel unmotivated, doubt yourself, or fall behind on tasks. You may struggle to talk to trusted friends or family about your situation, feeling like you need to “be strong.” You may even have tried to “just feel better” or “just think positive and keep going.”
But ongoing depression is hard to work through on your own. As your symptoms continue, you can end up feeling stuck in a cycle where you can’t push past the sadness, hopelessness, or negative self-thoughts.
But how do you know if therapy can help with your feelings of depression or sadness?
Depression can impact you in different ways — but therapy can help.
Depression can be more than feeling down or sad. Sometimes, sadness may not even be the main symptom you’re dealing with.
Because depression can be experienced differently for different people.
Some symptoms of depression you may experience include:
- Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness
- Exhaustion or low-energy
- Increased irritability or anger
- Trouble controlling your emotions or having outbursts
- Withdrawing from friends, family, or colleagues
- Feelings of self-doubt, guilt, or worthlessness
- Feeling powerless to change your situation
- Little to no interest in activities you typically enjoy
- Difficulty concentrating or focusing
- Changes in your sleep or appetite
- Frequent thoughts of death, suicide, or wondering what’s the point
