Depression

When things do not feel right

 

 

Depression is a common mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in activities. It can affect their emotions, thoughts, sex drive and overall physical well-being. Symptoms of depression may include changes in sleep patterns, appetite, and energy levels, as well as difficulty concentrating and making decisions. 

While everyone may experience periods of sadness, depression involves long-lasting and pervasive feelings that can significantly impact daily functioning. Seeking support from mental health professionals, friends, or family members is crucial. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of depression, reaching out to one of our counsellors. We are here to help. 

“Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can have a lifelong impact on your life. Knowing what those are can serve as an explanation for your current situation. They can provide you with the inspiration to responsibly change your life”

Cuando sientes que no hay esperanza

If you are experiencing depression and/or anxiety, unplugging for just 1 hour from social media and/or your electronics can help moderate your symptoms. Also, pay attention to your sleep patterns. Consult with your doctor to make sure there are no physiological factors influencing your mood.
