Depression is defined as a mood disorder that so many people experience nowadays.  It can be induced for many reasons such as grief/loss or even be environmentally based. Depression is when you feel persistent bouts of sadness and hopelessness.  You will often lose interest in activities that you once enjoyed, have a loss of appetite, feel fatigue and withdraw socially.  Things that once seemed easy may feel difficult to do now.

At Emerge, you will regain your emotional and physical strength by exploring and becoming knowledgeable about the triggers that cause your depression.  Together, we refocus and define your goals to becoming emotionally and physically well again.  You will identify and implement coping mechanisms and self-care techniques to manage a healthy and happy lifestyle.

Reaching out for help can be difficult when you feel your mind and body are depleted of all energy. But remember the moments when you’ve felt happiness and know that you will experience those feelings again.  One of the most important specifics to keep in mind is to make sure the therapist you’re working with is a good fit for you. They should understand your needs and wants and be free of bias so don’t be afraid to ask questions.
