Am I Depressed?
If you’re reading this, you probably suspect you suffer from depression. Diagnosing depression requires a lot of training and clinical knowledge, and a real diagnosis can only come from a professional counselor. However, there are some questions you might ask yourself to try and understand if you may be depressed:
‣ Do I have no appetite?
‣ Do I feel powerless to get out of bed?
‣ Does life feel pointless and bleak?
‣ Do I feel apathetic to people and occurrences around me?
‣ Am I lonely?
‣ Does nothing seem to have a point?
‣ Do I feel hopeless and helpless, and there's nothing I can do about anything?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, you might be depressed. Even if you didn’t, your depression might be manifesting with different symptoms. Consult a professional counselor online and retrieve the spark of living.
What can it stem from?
Depression is often the result of chemical and hormonal imbalances in the brain, combined with outside circumstances. Stress, or stressful life events can also bring bouts of depression: losing one’s loved ones, getting fired, or an emotional breakup. These events can bring about chemical imbalances and these, in turn, cause depression symptoms. Talking to a professional is important in cases like these! You can’t cure a chemical imbalance on your own, just like you wouldn’t be able to cure pneumonia.
When should I reach out?
Like we mentioned before, depression stems from a variety of complex reasons and explanations. In the past, a commonplace advice would be “pull yourself out of it” – this is the worst advice possible! It’s irresponsible at best.
If a person is so depressed that they can’t go on, they need professional help.
This includes situations where you feel like you can’t function in day to day situations, or entertaining thoughts about ending it all.
Our counselors offer depression therapy, and their expertise is helping people who are feeling like you. Chat with a counselor online to face your demons – doing it alone is simply too hard and risky.
Why choose a counselor online?
Going to a therapist can seem overwhelming when all you want to do is stay in bed and do nothing. That’s why choosing to get depression therapy in an online manner can help – you simply open the app, answer a few questions and get matched with an expert who can offer real advice and real diagnoses. The online aspect of our app also allows you to chat whenever you want – or schedule a live phone or video session, if you prefer. That means that when you’re feeling vulnerable, someone will be there to hear you out.
You deserve to live, and you deserve to live happily. Chat with a counselor online, and take advantage of depression therapy.
