Depression Therapists in West Bloomfield, MI—Detroit Therapy for Depression

It’s easy to feel like we are alone in our struggles: that our friends and family couldn’t possibly relate to what we’re going through. The reality, though, is that we all have our personal challenges, like stress at work, relationship strife, and even mental health problems like depression.

If you are struggling with the latter, you might feel particularly hopeless and assume that other people can’t possibly understand how you feel. But the truth is that many other people also struggle with depression. In fact, more than 16.1 million US adults can relate to how you’re feeling, as that’s how many people struggle with depression in a given year. 

“I was 25 years old. I had my own TV show. I was happy with my work, but I couldn’t figure out what it was; it doesn’t always make sense is my point. It’s not just people who can’t find a job or can’t fit in in society that struggle with depression.” –Jared Padalecki

What Are the Symptoms of Depression?

There are different types of depression, including major depressive disorder, minor depression, seasonal affective disorder, and postpartum depression. But the most common and well-known form of depression is major depressive disorder or major depression for short. Major depression is characterized by a deep despair. In addition, one might experience the following symptoms:

  • Feelings of intense sadness or hopelessness
  • Lack of interest in once beloved or day to day activities
  • Fatigue or loss of energy
  • Changes in activity levels
  • Feelings of worthlessness
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Changes in appetite or weight
  • Trouble falling or staying asleep
  • Suicidal thoughts

Major depression comes with a combination of these symptoms, though they can vary from person to person. That being said, for a depression diagnosis, one must experience at least five of the above symptoms, nearly every day for at least two weeks. Additionally, these symptoms must be so severe that they negatively impact one’s personal or professional life.

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, reach out to Thriveworks West Bloomfield in Oakland.
