How to Tell If You're Depressed and What to Do About It

Feb 19, 2020

Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses people face today. Its effects can range from subtle dissatisfaction in your daily life to thoughts of self-harm or suicide. No matter the severity of your symptoms, depression is a real mental illness and can create serious issues in your day-to-day life and relationships. There is no shame in seeking help to manage or combat depression and one of the best treatments out there is depression counseling.


Frequent symptoms of depression that might be affecting you are:

  • Anger
  • Persistent sadness or crying
  • Irritability
  • Sleep disturbances: insomnia or excessive sleeping
  • Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
  • Lack of pleasure or enjoyment in previously enjoyed activities (anhedonia)
  • Changes in appetite and/or changes in weight
  • Fatigue or lack of energy
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Physical pain (body aches, headaches, etc.)

It's important to remember that depression affects everyone differently, just because you don't identify with the symptoms listed above doesn't mean that you aren't struggling with depression. Talking through your symptoms with a trained and licensed therapist can help you to reach a deeper understanding of your feelings, why you feel that way, and how best to approach the situation to fix or reduce those feelings. Depression counseling focuses on empathy, understanding, and talking through issues to craft individualized plans and strategies that work for you and your life to relieve symptoms of depression.


Depression counseling is one of the many services offered by Jodi Mitchell, a licensed therapist in Fresno, CA, and focuses on creating a safe therapeutic environment, helping you to talk through your feelings, build on your strengths, and find the best ways for you to manage and find relief from the symptoms of depression that affect you. Depression counseling has the potential to change your life. Contact her today to see how she can help you get there.
