Our therapists provide depression counseling in Modesto, CA

Psychologists define clinical depression not as a specific symptom, but as a cluster of them. One of those symptoms must be an enduring depressed mood. If you have been enduring a persistent feeling of sadness plus four or more of the following symptoms, a mental health provider may diagnose you with depression:

• Significant, unintentional weight loss or gain
• A reduction of physical movement and a slowing down of thought
• Fatigue or energy loss
• Reduced ability to concentrate or indecisiveness
• Feelings of worthlessness
• Frequent thoughts of death and/or suicidal ideation (Note: please contact a crisis center immediately if you are experiencing this symptom.)

Depression counseling at Thriveworks in Modesto, CA can help you address these symptoms and help you regain your momentum. Our depression counselors use a wide variety of treatments and techniques to help break through your mood disorder and even help prevent depressive episodes from occurring in the future. If you’re struggling with symptoms of depression, reach out to Thriveworks Modesto, CA for help.
