We live in unprecedented times where sitting in a room together can be a health issue. However, despite the global pandemic, life continues to move forward. For many, that means a continual struggle with depression. In fact over 16 million Americans have had at least one depressive episode in the last twelve months due to a variety of reasons: isolation, grief, relationship conflict, anxiety… the list is long.
Depression can be debilitating, affecting almost every aspect of your life, from relationships to career.
It can disrupt your ability to interact with people in the way you used to, cause an inability to deal with the pressures of daily life, and stop you from feeling the joy in things you used to love. (It can also do all of these things at once, which can be crushing / immobilizing).
One of the worst things about depression is the sense of isolation and despair it can bring; the idea that nothing can improve. If you are suffering from depression, it is important to know that you are not alone, and that there is always a way out of this.
Counseling is a proven way of dealing with & overcoming depression, and it achieves this in a couple of ways:
In-person depression counseling helps you see problems in a different way or new angle.
This can take you out of the spiral of negativity that depression can trap you in. Sometimes, a new perspective on a current issue can be the catalyst to get yourself out of a funk.
Talking through your thoughts and feelings helps you gain understanding and clarity.
By discussing your difficulty with a counselor, you are taking the first step to coping with and overcoming depression. That first contact can be a difficult thing to build up to, but the sense of relief once you find someone who will listen and support you will make a real difference.
In-person depression counseling lets you speak and interact face-to-face.
