It’s normal to feel sad sometimes, or even for a more prolonged period when faced with difficult situations like losing a loved one. However, feeling sad nearly all the time or for an extended period is a sign of depression.
The symptoms of depression can include:
The many types of depression share persistent sadness and other symptoms that disrupt daily life.
When you have depression, you’re unable to live your life how you’d like. It can drag you down, get worse, and prevent your recovery if you don’t seek help. So, if you have symptoms that linger for longer than a few weeks, consider reaching out to Tardigrade Psychological Services, LLC, for help.
Unfortunately, many people don’t seek treatment for depression when they should. They might tell themselves that it’ll get better on its own. Some people feel embarrassed about admitting they need help.
No matter what might be holding you back from getting help, it’s valuable to know that depression only improves when you take specific steps to control the illness — and that’s precisely what Dr. Goldberg helps you do at Tardigrade Psychological Services, LLC.
Depression treatment requires a clear understanding of your present feelings and your past experiences. Dr. Goldberg helps you delve into your feelings and their origins through treatment approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychoanalysis, and family systems theory.
The goals of depression treatment include recognizing harmful thoughts, developing new thought patterns, and making peace with the experiences that shaped you. Dr. Goldberg helps you gain valuable insight, overcome your depression symptoms, and grow into the person you want to be.
Most treatment sessions occur over telehealth, a convenient therapy option in which you communicate live with Dr. Goldberg through private teleconferencing. In-office appointments are available as well.
