Depression Therapy in New York City Diane Spear, LCSW
Depression steals the good feelings from your day-to-day life—and from your memories. You don't have the energy and optimism to plan a better future.
Do you feel like you're just getting through your day? Only to wake up and do the same thing tomorrow? Living in New York City is fun and exciting, but if getting out of bed in the morning feels like a major undertaking, you're missing out!
Remember, one gauge of mental health is satisfaction in love, work, and play. Depression prevents you from feeling satisfaction in your relationships, accomplishments, and leisure activities. If depression is keeping you from fully enjoying your life, I can help. Treatment with an experienced therapist for depression can make a huge difference in your life.
These are some of the symptoms of depression:
Feelings of hopelessness
Lack of interest in things you used to enjoy
No interest in planning for the future
Difficulty concentrating
Persistent sadness
Feeling empty
Loss of interest in sex
Transitions in your life can contribute to depressed feelings. Changes like these can be problematic:
Separation or divorce
Career change
Major health issues
Illness or death of a loved one
Moving
Financial woes
Infertility or miscarriage
Even positive changes can leave you feeling down if they don't meet your expectations:
Getting married
Starting a family
A big promotion
Moving
Retirement
Yes, dealing with both positive and negative transitions can be tough. But if you're someone who feels particularly battered by change, there may be an underlying tendency toward depression, The changes in your life then transform that tendency into a dominant factor. Depression does not have to rule your world and shrink your life. Treatment with an experienced professional can help relieve your symptoms and help you develop an optimistic outlook that will get you through the worst of times and allow you to enjoy the best of times.
