Depression

While occasional sadness is a normal part of life, sometimes these feelings become overwhelming and persistent. This is when depression can take hold.

Symptoms of depression can include:

  • Intense sadness or low mood
  • Difficulty sleeping or sleeping too much.
  • Loss of motivation or interest in activities
  • Feelings of emptiness or numbness
  • Difficulty functioning in daily life.
