Depression: Breaking the Cycle of Low Mood and Negative Thoughts
When you're feeling down, it often leads to negative thoughts. Over time, this negative thinking can create a cycle that’s hard to break without outside help. Along with a persistently low mood and negative outlook, you may experience symptoms like:
- Low motivation
- Difficulty getting out of bed
- Numbness or emotional flatness
- Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
- Social withdrawal or isolation
- Crying more easily or more frequently than before
- Thoughts of suicide or feeling like it would be easier if you weren’t here
- Increased irritability
- Feelings of hopelessness or emptiness
- Trouble sleeping—either too much or too little
If any of these resonate with you, you might be struggling with depression. The good news is that you don’t have to navigate this alone. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches to help you alleviate these symptoms and regain control of your life.
What to Expect in Therapy
Your therapist can:
- Help you explore and challenge untrue or negative thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors
- Guide you in gradually building daily and weekly habits that can improve your mood and overall well-being
- Support you in developing coping strategies that foster emotional resilience and healthier thinking patterns
If you’re considering medication, your therapist can assist in evaluating the pros and cons. Should you choose that route, we can connect you with a medical professional who can prescribe medication, working closely with them to ensure you receive comprehensive care.
