Depression is a mental health disorder that causes an individual to lose his or her ability to experience positive emotions. It affects all aspects of a person’s life, causing emotional, spiritual, and even physical pain for the sufferer. Some signs and symptoms of depression include social isolation, use of addictive behaviors or substances, increased agitation and anger, and loss of interest.
Individuals struggling with depression can benefit from talking about their feelings and receiving support from a licensed therapist. Group therapy and psychodrama offer those suffering from depression additional support through sharing with group members, identifying new coping skills, and gaining hope for the future.
Additionally, Choices Counseling Center offers intensive weekend and weeklong therapy programs to provide more in-depth support for clients struggling with depression.
We also work with individuals who are grieving unresolved losses in their life, such as the deaths of loved ones and early traumatic experiences. Unprocessed grief can manifest as depression and low effect.
