Therapy for Depression

Are you feeling hopeless, isolated and not your usual self?

Do these thoughts often enter your mind?:

          • I am worthless and can’t do anything about it.
          • I don’t deserve to experience any joy, love, or success.
          • I hate who I am these days.
          • I’m a burden to others. I should stay away from everyone.
          • I feel gut wrenching pain, but no one understands.
          • My life and the world around me are dark. I hate it, but I can’t change it.

If you have had any variation of these thoughts and don’t feel like your usual self, chances are you may be suffering from depression.
