Depression is a mental health disorder that affects mood, including how you feel, think, and behave. Everyone feels sad sometimes, but when it starts to affect your ability to perform daily tasks and your ability to enjoy things that typically bring you happiness, you may be suffering from depression. The symptoms of depression vary from person to person, but often include feeling miserable without a clear reason why, anxiety, agitation, insomnia or sleeping too much, hopelessness, changes in eating, and/or foggy thinking. Depression may also cause recurrent thoughts of death or suicide (or even a wish that it would all 'stop' in an abstract sense). If you think you might be suffering from depression, a qualified mental health therapist can help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s depression experts today!

Childhood trauma disconnects us from the truth of who we are. We believe that somehow the hurt we experienced is our fault, we are not good enough, worthless, we don’t matter, or we should have tried harder, etc. Without healing, these beliefs follow us far into adulthood. We are left repeating dysfunctional family dynamics, coping in unhealthy and harmful ways, developing addictions, feeling depressed or anxious, and having difficulty in relationships. Know that you can begin to heal today.
Are you tired, burnt out, or experiencing the fight or flight rollercoaster ? Do you feel the weight of the world or needs of others on your shoulders? Maybe you've used all your super powers to survive, but are not thriving. Anxiety and perfectionism can make life feel impossible. What helps anxiety can make depression feel worse. Coping by isolating, avoiding, dissociating, eating (and I don't mean broccoli) are just tools that may have worked temporarily in the past. No more! You can be free.

You ever feel like cocooning? You know, when you just want to shut out the world. For many it happens when relating to others feels draining, work is no longer fulfilling, or when it’s hard to feel good about anything. Life feels so heavy that it’s as if there’s no way out. This is how depression and anxiety can feel.

If you’re ADHD, autistic, gifted, “twice exceptional,” or otherwise neurodivergent, you’ve got a specialized, high-performance brain. When you’re doing something you love, everything just works. It's the rest of life that's incredibly stressful. We experience higher rates of depression, anxiety, trauma, school refusal, substance abuse--you name it. But, it's not a deficit in you. It's minority stress. Let's work on changing your environment to fit your brain, not the other way around.
