Depression
Dealing with depression can feel especially difficult because the symptoms it generates (i.e. tiredness, lethargy and lack of enthusiasm) can deter people from seeking the very treatment that would put an end to their symptoms. Though there are times when depression feels like a demoralizing cycle, the reality is that depression is not only extremely treatable but it is temporary. For most people, depression only lasts for a limited amount of time. Treatment options are vast, and there are many ways to actively fight depression. Here you can get a better understanding of what may be causing your depression, while learning important tools for overcoming symptoms of depression.
