Find Support with Depression Therapy in Orange County
If you’re struggling to get through the day, feeling stuck, or wondering where your energy and motivation have gone, you’re not alone. Depression can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming—but support is available, and healing is possible.
Understanding depression
Depression affects people in many different ways. It can impact your sleep, appetite, concentration, relationships, and sense of self. Some people feel persistently sad or hopeless, while others experience irritability, disconnection, or emotional numbness.
Symptoms may include:
- Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
- Changes in sleep or appetite
- Weight loss or gain
- Fatigue or low energy
- Feeling sad or empty
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
- Thoughts of death or self-harm
Whether your depression is mild or severe, short-term or long-lasting, it deserves care and attention.
Types of depression
Many people suffer from depression, and it can look different for each person. That’s why no two therapy journeys are exactly the same. There are several types of mood disorders characterized by depressed mood. Some of the more common ones include:
- Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
- Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD)
- Postpartum Depression
- Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
Understanding which type of depression you’re facing can help guide the most effective treatment approach.
