What should I do if my partner or loved one is depressed?

When the person you love the most in the world is suffering from depression you can make you feel helpless. You may feel sad, worried, hopeless, frustrated, and overwhelmed. That’s all normal. It is equally important, and we recommend you find yourself a therapist if needed. Please reach out to us and schedule an appointment.

 Remember that when we get depressed, it can be very hard to reach out to a therapist. Depression can cause shame and embarrassment. So, asking for help can be very scary. We are here to help.

What is depression treatment?

 There are many new interventions that are now available to us that incorporate mindfulness and psychotherapy, and even medication.

You do not need to live another day with pain and hopelessness. A depression therapist can help. You only need to reach out to get started.
