Depression Treatment for Children, Teens, and Young Adults
Some days it feels like you are just going through the motions. School is exhausting, and work is the last thing you have the energy to do.
Each day you struggle to be kind to yourself, the negative thoughts often overtake your mind.
Most of the time you barely have the energy to get up or leave the house.
Most days, it is much easier to be alone because you feel like a burden or wonder if people will understand what is happening.
symptoms of depression
Depression is common among individuals ranging from children to older adults. Unfortunately, the mental health epidemic is on the rise. We know that there is more depression and anxiety in adults, teens, and children than ever before. With everything happening around the world, plus new stressors every day, it can be hard to feel hopeful about the future.
Depression can leave you feeling hopeless and exhausted. The process of getting up, taking care of yourself, and interacting with the people around you are the most difficult tasks. Sometimes it is just easier to stay in your own space to avoid the hurt and sadness you are feeling at this moment. However, depression is one of the greatest liars. If you are feeling worthless, and out of hope, it is time to get help either for you or your loved ones. Regardless of what brings you here, our depression therapists in Honolulu, HI and Greensboro, NC understand and are here to give you guidance in depression treatment.
