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. Seeking help from a depression therapist or exploring rehab for depression can provide valuable support for those struggling. Many people finish schooling, get their first full-time jobs, start new relationships, and may even begin having children. As easy as it is to see this time as one of the best in our lives, the truth is that being a young adult is challenging and stressful. If you’re a struggling young adult, you are certainly not alone. Many people find it tough to navigate this highly transitional time. If you’re ready to start feeling a little more stable and emotionally healthy, I hope you’ll reach out to the team at Image & Likeness Counseling. You can also learn more about why young adults choose to work with a counselor as well as the benefits of therapy on this page.
Why Should I Consider Therapy?
For college-aged people and twenty-somethings, life is change. Every day seems to bring something new. A new friendship. A new career track. A new love interest. All the new and different experiences are exhilarating to some young adults, but for others, the constant change can feel extremely stressful. In fact, it’s often overwhelming, leaving them feeling constantly worried. Will they ever succeed in their career? Will they ever find the right partner? Will they ever feel truly happy? These questions and more make every day seem like a not always pleasant surprise for young adults. When the constant transitions become overwhelming, therapy may be beneficial.
