Depression
Depression causes symptoms of sadness, loss of energy and motivation. You might feel distracted, disorganized and "at a loss." Depression can cause problems with sleeping and eating, it can affect the quality of your personal relationships, and it can impair your ability to work and be productive.
While everyone feels sad from time to time, people who suffer from depressive disorder may find that the symptoms are keeping them from managing their daily activities.
When should I seek help?
● Your symptoms affect your daily life.
● Your health is suffering because of your symptoms.
● You're unable to talk to anyone about your symptoms.
● You want to understand what causes your symptoms.
● You want to learn how to control your symptoms.
Telehealth Psychotherapy for Common Disorders
Anxiety
Anxiety disorder manifests in feelings of fear, dread, and uneasiness, accompanied by sweatiness, restlessness, tension, and rapid heartbeat.
While anxiety is a normal reaction to stress, people who suffer from anxiety disorder may find that the physical and mental symptoms are overwhelming, and that they can't manage their life day-to-day.
Work-Related Stress
Many jobs and job situations create extreme stress for individuals. Workplace pressures can be overwhelming and can make it difficult for you to be productive at work and to function normally when you are away from work.
Stress can disrupt your appetite, your sleep and your relationships with friends and loved ones. Stress can also cause physical symptoms such as headaches, body aches, nausea and muscle tension.
Major Life Transitions
There are many times in our adults lives when we struggle to accept and adjust to a major life change. The loss of a job, loss of a loved one, change in employment status, divorce, marriage, starting a family, caring for elderly parents, or a change in your living situation, can all be difficult to navigate emotionally.
The many stages of retirement and aging are all times of major life transition. Any of these can cause feelings of depression, isolation, anxiety and loss of motivation.
Psychotherapy can help you:
● Understand how thoughts and beliefs fuel symptoms.
● Recognize and name symptom triggers.
● Learn strategies for correcting self-defeating beliefs.
● Develop boundary-setting skills.
● Build confidence and self-esteem.
● Increase your choices in life.
