4 Signs To Seek Depression Counseling

May 18, 2017

Depression is a very misunderstood illness. Often many people think that having depression just means feeling very sad due to highly stressful situations going on in one's life. They do not see it as an actual illness. As a result, there are many who do not know when they truly need to seek help.

So how do you know when it is time to seek depression counseling?

Here are 4 signs to look for in yourself and others.

1. You feel a loss of interest in things you used to enjoy.
Making crafts, knitting, hanging out with friends, playing games, playing with your dog, etc., all seem like a chore. Nothing seems fun. Nothing sounds appealing except for hiding under the covers in your bed.

2. You feel like you will never be happy again.
This comes in different forms. It can feel like a pit in the stomach. It can be like the feeling some people get with clouds that will not go away on a rainy day. It doesn't seem to matter what anyone says to try to encourage you. A feeling of hopelessness still overwhelms you.

3. You are experiencing unexplained physical problems.
Sleep is a big factor to consider. You could either be getting too little or getting too much. Then, no matter how much sleep you are getting, you still feel fatigued with very little energy. You can barely function through even the simple task of brushing your teeth or taking a shower.

Your appetite can also change, either leading to rapid weight loss or rapid weight gain. You either lose your appetite due to loss of interest, or you find comfort in your food and eat it in excess.

4. Thoughts of no longer living come to your mind.
This is a very serious sign. It does not include just plans of ending your life. It includes any thought of death crossing your mind. Whether you think about how you wish you would die or how you want to harm yourself, you need to immediately seek help.

Depression is not something to ignore. If you notice any of these signs or anything else that you think could be related, please contact us to find out how we can help you.
