Depression Therapy

Depression comes in many forms; you are not alone

Depression is not always easy to recognize or detect. It is insidious in nature and may creep up on you when you least expect it. The first step to recovering from depression is recognizing that you have depressive symptoms. When you recognize the symptoms of depression, you are able to take the next step toward recovery and seek the support that you need to improve your situation.

Common Symptoms of Depression

At the Sawyer Wellness Group, we realize that depression comes in many forms. It may stem from a situation that arises in your life, such as grief from the loss of a loved one, or it may develop slowly over time. You may not always recognize that you have depressive symptoms. By knowing the common symptoms that may arise in depression, you are able to identify the problem before it grows.

Common symptoms of depression include:

  • Feeling hopelessness in your daily life

  • Suffering from an increase in fatigue or problems with sleep

  • Changes to your appetite that may result in changes to your weight

  • Thoughts of suicide

  • Feeling lonely or disconnected

  • General sadness without any obvious cause

  • Loss of interest in hobbies, activities, or relationships

  • Feelings of nervousness or anxiety

  • Irritability, particularly in men

It is easy to assume that depression relates directly to sadness, grief, or similar problems. Unfortunately, it may have symptoms that you overlook or assume relate to other conditions or concerns. Feeling fatigued or facing challenges with insomnia may not be an obvious symptom; however, it is a common problem that may arise when you have depression. You may even assume that irritability stems from other factors. It may relate to depression in many situations, particularly if there are other symptoms of depression.

At the Sawyer Wellness Group, we realize that the symptoms of depression are not always obvious or clear. You may overlook certain symptoms, particularly when it develops slowly due to feeling lonely or disconnected from loved ones. We believe that you have the innate ability to be calm, clear, connected, and confident, which is why our professional clinicians focus on helping you recover with the right support and therapy.
