Depression and Anxiety

Are you feeling hopeless, isolated and not your usual self?  Do you feel heavy with despair, struggling each day to keep your head above water?  Or does it feel like it takes every ounce of energy to stay afloat in your daily life?  If this sounds familiar, then chances are you may be suffering from depression.  While it may seem difficult to find your way back to hope and happiness, we want you to know that you are not alone and we are here to help. Just like other chronic illnesses, depression is not your fault. And like many other illnesses, effective treatments exist to help ease and eliminate the struggles you maybe facing. We understand the stigma that may come with the label of being depressed, and thus work to help you find peace and resolve on the healing journey to a healthier and happier life.  

Do you always worry that something bad will happen?  Do you feel as if you have lost control of your life?  Does your apprehension make it tricky to get on with regular life and enjoy each day?  These are some of the signs of anxiety. Anxiety can strike at any moment, usually without warning and at the worst possible time. Anxiety is a stress-induced worry that is accompanied by unrelenting intrusive thoughts, fears, and concerns which can often lead to panic and even feeling short of breath.  Anxiety can be persistent and often times not recognized because it can be accompanied by symptoms of depression. Anxiety disorders take on many forms and should be assessed and diagnosed by a professional.
