Depression

Depression can often feel like an overwhelming weight or a dark shadow hanging over simple daily tasks and draining the joy from life. It’s a condition that can make it difficult to navigate through everyday experiences, leaving those affected feeling isolated and misunderstood. However, there is hope. Therapy provides a path forward, serving as a compassionate space where you can begin to understand these feelings. At Trisha Johnson Therapy Group, we are dedicated to helping you work towards reclaiming a sense of self and well-being. No matter what you’re going through, we will stand by you every step of the way. 

What is Depression?

Depression is more than just experiencing occasional sadness or feeling down. It is a pervasive mental health condition impacting how you feel, think, and manage daily activities. Depression is usually characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or lack of interest or enjoyment in activities. This condition can affect all aspects of your life, from personal relationships to professional responsibilities.

Symptoms of Depression

Depression and its effects can manifest differently in each person, but common symptoms include:

  • Persistent sadness or a low mood
  • Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities
  • Changes in appetite and weight
  • Insomnia or excessive sleeping
  • Fatigue or low energy
  • Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  • Thoughts of death, self-harm, or suicide

Common Causes of Depression

Understanding the root cause of depression is essential in addressing it effectively. Some of the top factors that contribute to the onset of depression include:

  • Genetics: Those with a family history of depression may have an increased risk.
  • Brain Chemistry: Imbalances in neurotransmitters may play a significant role.
  • Environmental Stressors: Traumatic events, chronic stress, or major life changes can trigger depressive episodes.
  • Psychological Factors: Patterns of negative thinking and low self-esteem can exacerbate depression.
