Recognize the Signs and Symptoms of Depression

Depression

Depression is a complex condition with both genetic and environmental factors. If you think you may be experiencing symptoms, or you just haven't felt like yourself in a while, it is always a good idea to consult a professional.

Symptoms of Depression to Watch For

Bouts of depression that occur after traumatic events or losses may be easier to recognize than longer-term forms of depression. What may seem normal to you can be a clear indicator of depression to a trained professional.

  • Irritability and mood changes that are unusual for you
  • Sad or anxious feelings that persist over a long period of time
  • Pessimism and feelings of hopelessness or helplessness
  • Difficulty concentrating and making decisions

Sadness vs. Depression

It's normal to be sad, especially after a tragedy or an emotional loss, and being sad doesn't mean you are depressed. Everyone has bad days, or even bad weeks. These feelings should only be considered signs of depression if they are persistent, or if you notice more than one symptom for an extended period of time.

Treatment Options

Depression is treated with therapy, medication management, or a combination of both. For depression that has not responded to other treatments, we also offer additional options, including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Spravato.
