Depression Therapy and Counseling

Everyone experiences sadness or the "blues" at one time or another.

Sometimes being sad is just a normal, brief response, like when you receive bad news about someone you care about. That's not what we mean by "depressed" and it rarely requires therapy.

However, sadness can also become overwhelming. And it seems to take over your life. Here, depression begins to replace ordinary sadness.

The economic problems in Rhode Island can certainly add to stress and worsen one's mood and lead to depression.

Some typical symptoms of depression are feeling sad or blue even when something good happens; the down mood lasts for two or more weeks; problems with sleep, appetite or energy levels; bleak or pessimistic thoughts; feeling drained or fatigued; believing that you are worthless or feeling quite guilty; difficulty concentrating; irritability; there may be thoughts of death and other signs.
