IDENTIFYING SIGNS OF DEPRESSION
Signs to look for to know you are depressed; feelings of sadness, tearfulness, emptiness, loss of interest or pleasure in regular activities, such as sex, hobbies, or sports. Depression is a disorder that can take a terrible toll on you and your family. Depression, if not treated, can often get worse, resulting in emotional, behavioral, and health problems that affect every area of your life.
If you feel depressed, make an appointment to see your doctor or mental health professional as soon as you can. If you’re reluctant to seek treatment, talk to a friend or loved one, any health care professional, a faith leader, or someone else you trust.
LEARNING TO MANAGE YOUR ANXIETY

Anxiety disorders affect 40 million people in the United States. It is the most common group of mental illnesses in the country. However, only 36.9 percent of people with an anxiety disorder receive treatment. Anxiety can lead to depression. We design our therapy sessions to dissect personal issues and provide individuals with effective and practical tools to help them gain healthy coping skills. Below is an example of practical coping techniques for anxiety.
Disorders such as anxiety are treated generally with psychotherapy, medication, or both. There are many ways to treat anxiety. People should work with their doctors to choose the treatment that is right for them.
