When Low Mood Becomes Something More

Everyone feels down from time to time. But when sadness, emptiness, or negative thoughts stay with you for weeks or months, it could be a sign of depression.

Depression can affect your body, mind, and relationships. It can leave you feeling tired all the time, unable to enjoy life, and disconnected from yourself and others. In severe depression, even the smallest task can feel like pushing a boulder uphill.

We view depression as stuck, unprocessed emotions, and being held in our emotions and expressing them is the antidote.

Together, we address the underlying causes and symptoms of depression, and support you to reconnect with your sense of self, restore hope, and reclaim purpose.

What is Depression and How Does it Affect Your Life?

Depression is classified as a mood disorder, often described as a feeling of heaviness or a dark cloud hanging overhead.

Thinking back over the last month, you might've felt down. Maybe it was a poor grade you received, a break-up, or someone passing. You know this will pass.

Depression is marked by various levels of severity, intensity, and duration. It can feel like a long-lasting feeling of sadness that doesn't seem to have a direct cause.

Depression may be linked to other conditions such as bipolar disorder, physical illness, or hormonal changes. Without treatment, depressive symptoms can last for several years, disrupt your ability to work, strain relationships, and affect your capacity to complete everyday tasks.

Why Do Some People Develop Depression?

There’s no single explanation. Most cases arise from a mix of biology, life experiences, and social factors. You may be at higher risk if you have:

A family history of depression or other psychiatric disorders.
Experienced severe stress, loss, or trauma early in life.
Ongoing physical illness or chronic pain.
Repeated negative life events or social stress.
A history of substance use or other mental health conditions.

Common Symptoms of Depression

Depression looks different from person to person, but some of the most common signs include:

Persistent sadness or emptiness.
Negative thoughts or hopelessness.
Loss of interest in activities or relationships.
Inner restlessness, agitation, or fatigue.
Physical symptoms like headaches, muscle pain, stomach issues, and sleep problems.
Trouble concentrating, memory gaps, or slowed thinking.
Withdrawal from others or difficulty feeling connected.
Thoughts of death or suicide.

How Depression Affects Everyday Life

When left untreated, depression can have serious consequences. You may:

Struggle to manage work, studies, or responsibilities.
Withhold emotions or withdraw socially to cope.
Find it hard to feel loving, connected, or emotionally present.
Experience inner turmoil that affects the whole family.
Live with physical complaints that have no clear medical cause.

Over time, untreated depression may lead to other mental health conditions and greater suffering. Therapy can help interrupt this cycle.
