What are the Signs of Depression
Depression can be caused by a number of issues in a person’s life. It could be caused by triggers from an early childhood trauma or a recent trauma. It could be from hormones, environment or learned negative thinking, such as helplessness or not being enough. You may not recognize the signs of depression immediately, and they can differ for each person. Below are some of the signs of depression:
Feeling sad, empty, or lost
Lack of energy
Sleeping too much or too little
Eating too much or too little
Loss of interest
Difficulty concentrating
If you have experienced any of these symptoms for more than 2 weeks and they have significantly affected your life and ability to function you may have a depressive disorder. Symptoms can vary with individuals and you may not recognize them at first. The most common sign is the overwhelming feeling of hopelessness or worthlessness. Identifying these signs and seeking help is the first step to feeling better.

Therapy for Depression
Depression is a real and debilitating mental illness that requires professional help. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, many types of therapy can be beneficial. Some people may need medication to help them through their depression, while others may just need weekly talk therapy sessions. Here at South Coast Community Services, we offer both options. Here are a few of the common types of therapy used to treat depression:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: CBT is a type of therapy that helps people understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches people how to identify negative thought patterns and change them into more positive ones.
- Interpersonal Therapy: IPT is a type of therapy that focuses on your relationships with others and how they may be affecting your depression. It can help you to identify and change harmful patterns in your relationships.
- Behavioral Activation: This type of therapy focuses on helping you to identify and change any negative or self-destructive behaviors that may be contributing to your depression.
