Depression Therapy

Depression is a widespread mood disorder that affects millions of people in the U.S. annually.  Although it’s common, experiencing a depressed mood can be incredibly challenging.  From intense sadness to feelings of hopelessness, depression takes a serious toll on daily life, making even the smallest daily tasks feel insurmountable.

If you’re struggling with depression, therapy can help you minimize the adverse effects of your symptoms so you can begin leading a more satisfying life again.  Telehealth options make it easier than ever to access the high-quality mental health care you deserve, as you won’t even need to leave your Oviedo home.  Learn about online depression therapy from the team at Image & Likeness Counseling here!

Depression Isn’t the Bad Guy

Depression, like all emotions, can be a healthy way for your mind to cope with difficult experiences.  Take a moment to think about a time in your life when you were very sad.  Maybe you wept or had a low mood for an extended period.  These feelings of depression allow you the time you need to process the difficult situation that triggered feelings of sadness.  Mourning following a loss, feeling empathetic sadness for someone else who is having a difficult time, or feeling sad for any other reason can be helpful.  As you process the experience, these feelings diminish.  You start to feel less depressed, more energetic, and eventually, you feel like you’re back to being yourself.
