Have you been feeling sad, crying, or having no fun in activities anymore? Do you feel a decrease in energy level, poor concentration, changes in appetite and ability to sleep? If –you do, it might be time to speak to a mental health professional regarding your symptoms.
Depression is very prevalent today, and it impacts life in different ways. It tends to affect your personal life, work life and social life. It constitutes a negative view of self, the world and the future leaving you feeling hopeless and at time feeling helpless. Self-isolation is also a symptom resulting from increased irritability and a lack of self-confidence. What used to motivate you no longer does and your friends’ efforts in getting you to interact are met with resistance. You don’t need to feel this way.
There is treatment that encompasses looking at your thoughts which affect your mood and your behavior. This is called Cognitive Behavior Therapy and it is an evidence-based practice that Miami Psychology Group specializes in. There are positive results shown in a myriad of research studies showing its effectiveness. Depression can be very treatable, and we are prepared to help.
