What Are Common Depression Symptoms?

Mental health professionals can help people with depression manage and reduce the impact that the disorder has on their life. A depressive disorder can range from mild to severe with many people experiencing a wide range of symptoms. However, some symptoms are more common than others. Some of the more common symptoms of a depressive disorder include:

• Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and emptiness
• Loss of interest and pleasure in activities and hobbies
• Difficulty sleeping or oversleeping
• Feelings of exhaustion or fatigue throughout the day
• Increased restlessness
• Feeling worthless or guilty
• Low self-esteem and self-blame
• Substance abuse
• Difficulty thinking, concentrating, or making decisions
• Thoughts of violence, death, and suicide

You can reach out if you think your depression manifests entirely differently. Everyone’s experience with depression can be unique and mental health professionals can help people dealing with many different forms of depression.

The Benefits of Depression Therapy

Going to therapy or counseling can feel like an intimidating and vulnerable experience. Your provider will do their best to provide and maintain a judgment-free and safe environment for you to talk about your mental health issues. Just as a doctor wouldn’t judge you for feeling pain from a broken leg, your therapist or counselor won’t judge you for dealing with pain from your depression.

The providers in Biloxi, MS are experts in their field and are accustomed to helping clients through times of deep sadness and discomfort. There are many forms of therapy that are used to help people manage depressive disorders. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one the most common forms of depression therapy and can teach you important skills, including:

• Identifying problems that contribute to your depression and work on improving the parts you can control, and accepting the parts you cannot
• Discerning and reframing negative thought patterns that do not accurately reflect reality and contribute to your depression
• Implementing healthy behaviors (exercise, meditation, or a balanced diet) through realistic goals to regain a sense of balance and control
