Depression Counseling in New York City
 We New Yorkers tend to use this word depression to talk about everything from the subways not running to how long a line we had to stand on. It has become an everyday casual word. But when depression is serious, it can really stop you in your tracks.
Depression is often a feeling that prevents you from enjoying your life and realizing your potential for pleasure. Psychotherapy can help relieve some of your symptoms of depression, once you understand what is causing them.
These are some of the feelings you might be experiencing which may indicate that you could benefit from some counseling:
- Lack of energy
- Insomnia
- Easily fatigued
- Irritability
- Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism
- Impaired concentration
- Persistant sad, empty mood
- Stress or fear
- No interest in activities that you previously enjoyed
- Loss of interest in physical intimacy
Depression may be caused by a situation that is taking place in your life; a crisis that needs immediate attention. Life transitions often cause mood changes that feel like depression:
- Moving
- Job loss or change
- Divorce or separation
- Illness or death
- Infertility Treatments
- Miscarriage
- Caring for elderly parent
- Financial difficulties
Studies have shown that psychotherapy can alleviate many of these symptoms and help you feel hopeful about life again.
Just talking with someone trained in this field can help you see your situation in a more realistic way. If it is an event that is happening in your life, you might recognize that it is not just all in your head and that you can change your circumstances and feel better.
