Do I Have Depression
Are you feeling sad, hopeless, or empty? Are you struggling to find joy or pleasure in things you used to enjoy? Do you have trouble sleeping or eating? Are you easily irritable, restless, or fatigued? Do you feel worthless or guilty?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may be experiencing depression.
Depression is a common mental health disorder that affects millions of people worldwide, including those from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
Some common symptoms of depression are:
- Feeling sad, hopeless, or empty
- Struggling to find joy or pleasure in things you used to enjoy
- Trouble sleeping or eating
- Easily irritable, restless, or fatigued
- Feeling worthless or guilty
If you are experiencing these symptoms, then know this, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Depression is not a sign of weakness or personal failure. It is a treatable medical condition that requires proper care and attention.
If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, know that help is available. At Eden Counselling, we offer compassionate, non-judgmental counselling services that can help you overcome depression and find hope and healing.
Why Do I Have Depression?
Depression can be caused by various factors, including:
- Life events: Traumatic or stressful life events, such as the loss of a loved one, a divorce, or a job loss, can trigger depression.
- Negative thinking patterns: Persistent negative thoughts, self-criticism, or distorted thinking can contribute to the development of depression.
- Environmental factors: Living in a stressful or unstable environment, such as poverty, can increase the risk of depression.
- Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as thyroid problems or chronic pain, can cause or worsen depression.
At Eden Counselling, our experienced counsellors can help you identify and address the underlying causes of depression, providing you with the support and tools you need to overcome it.
