Depression

Some people describe depression as feeling alone, even though they are surrounded by people. Others describe it as the inability to envision a hopeful future - like looking forward through a gloomy fog. Counseling can help.

DEPRESSION PREVENTS YOU FROM LIVING THE LIFE YOU WERE MEANT TO.  

At Denver Wellness Center we are committed to helping you find happiness and get back to your life's goals. Depression can affect people at a certain time in their life, or be lurking under the surface for years.

  • Sleeping too much or too little

  • Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or hopelessness

  • Frequent crying

  • No longer enjoying what you used to

  • Loneliness or isolation

  • Feeling "empty"

  • Fatigue or loss of energy

  • Irritability

  • Thought of suicide

Depression is common, affecting millions of individuals around the world. Additionally, there are multiple causes to depression, including life events, personal factors (genetics and family history), and chemical changes in the brain and body. Due to the complex and varied nature of depression, it is important to find a counselor who can provide an individualized treatment approach to address your depression.
