WHAT IT IS
Understanding depression
Depression isn't just sadness. It's the heaviness that sits on everything - the loss of interest in things you used to love, the difficulty getting out of bed, the sense that nothing quite reaches you anymore. It's exhausting, and it doesn't always have an obvious cause.
Therapy for depression gives you a space to explore what you're going through without pressure. Your therapist works alongside you to understand what's driving it and to find approaches that help - gradually, steadily, in a way that fits your life.
