What Is Depression? ✨
Depression is more than feeling sad—it can feel like a heaviness that seeps into every part of life. You may notice a lack of energy, a loss of interest in things you once enjoyed, or a sense of disconnection from others. For some, depression shows up as irritability or numbness. For others, it’s hopelessness, fatigue, or a constant inner voice of self-criticism.
At Spiral Up Therapy, we believe depression is not a personal flaw. It is a human experience that deserves compassion, care, and support. Our therapists work with you to untangle the roots of your depression and help you create a path toward healing.
What Depression Can Feel Like:
Depression looks different for everyone, but common experiences include:
Feeling tired or drained most of the time.
Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or completing tasks.
Loss of interest in hobbies, socializing, or daily activities.
A sense of worthlessness, guilt, or self-blame.
Changes in appetite, sleep, or motivation.
Feeling isolated, misunderstood, or disconnected.
If you’ve been experiencing these symptoms, therapy can help you feel less alone and begin to find hope again.
