Depression Therapy
988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline
Sadness is a normal thing that everyone experiences. Whether it's the feelings of loneliness we all get sometimes, the loss of a loved one, or existential thoughts about your self-worth, sad thoughts and feelings are a natural part of the thought process and events of our journey through life. As much as it can feel painful and negative, it's part of the highs and lows and contrast the happiness that we all can feel as well. But for some folks, this sadness is less of a sporadic experience and more of a constant. For some, this sadness is enveloping, and transforms into something else, a frustrating combination of constant sad thoughts and feelings, with apathy and despair. And this kind of experience can be debilitating.
This kind of experience is called depression. Depression is not just feeling “really sad;” it’s more comprehensively taxing on the pleasure-seeking parts of the mind and soul. It is characterized as a major mood disorder that causes consistent and persistent feelings of sadness and apathy, with these symptoms causing a severe debilitation of your life and daily activities. If you are suffering from the symptoms of depression, it can feel very difficult to keep going, let alone seek help. But it's very important to understand that all hope is not lost; online counseling from a trusted counselor provider like Texas Online Counseling can offer necessary support and coping techniques that can help you take control of your depression and revitalize the pleasure that life has to offer.

What Is Depression?
As the global awareness regarding mental health has improved over the last decade or so, so too has the awareness regarding mental health disorders, and how they can affect people’s lives. Depression is a term that is thrown around a lot, and even with this heightened awareness and knowledge in our culture, some folks might not fully understand what depression is. Depression is not just “feeling really really sad”, because to an extent, everyone can feel really really sad sometimes. Depression can be better characterized as an experience of consistent anhedonia, which is defined as a massive decrease in the ability to feel pleasure and feel interest in things. It’s not just sadness; it’s a feeling of consistent apathy that can make even as simple of a task as getting out of bed feel impossible and not worth the effort. But online counseling can help.
Symptoms of Depression
A major depressive order can rear its head in a variety of ways. While the symptoms of depression aren’t wholly defined by sadness, sad thoughts and feelings are certainly an important part of it. These symptoms can include:
- Feel intense sadness most of the day
- Loss of interest
- Trouble concentrating or thinking
- Extreme fatigue
- Changes in weight
- Suicidal thoughts
- Feeling guilty and or worthless
- Moving slower or in an agitated manner noticeable to others
- Insomnia
We all might experience some of these symptoms from time to time in the ups and downs of life, but in order to classify it as a major depressive disorder, at least 5 of these symptoms need to last for at least 2 weeks or more. For folks who experience these symptoms on such a consistent basis, it can be quite debilitating and life altering, and when that is the case, that is when it is time to seek help. Online depression counseling is a great place to start, especially when you utilize the accessibility and compassion of Texas Online Counseling.
