Depression Therapy in Vancouver 

Do you wonder if you might be struggling with depression? (Aka major depressive disorder)?

Perhaps you find yourself feeling low, sad, or irritable but can’t seem to quite shake the feeling. Or you feel a sense of disconnection or numbness. Perhaps you’re losing interest in things that used to bring you pleasure or joy. Or maybe you are experiencing strong negative thoughts about yourself, your life, or others and are finding it difficult to cope. 

​

In either case, the symptoms of depression can vary from person to person but typically consist of experiencing various symptoms from the list below:

​

• Depressed, low mood most of the day (this can be a sense of feeling sad, empty, hopeless, etc.) 

• Loss of interest in activities 

• Changes in body - either weight loss or gain 

• Difficulties with sleeping - insomnia or hypersomnia (over sleeping) 

• Feeling slowed down and/or moving slowly 

• Difficulties with concentration

• Thoughts of suicide or death 

• Loss of energy, low energy 

• Feeling not good enough, worthless or extremely guilty 
   

If you find yourself experiencing many of these symptoms, it is possible that you might be experiencing depression. 

​

Unfortunately, depression can affect our lives in many ways. It can affect our ability to concentrate, be effective at work, affect our relationships and ability to engage with others. You may find yourself experiencing strong emotions (sadness, anger, irritability) or even a sense of being disconnected or numb. ​​
