Depression

Depression

Depression is serious. It can be debilitating. Untreated, it can increase risky behaviors such as drug use or alcohol addiction. It can even lead to suicide.

Do you think you might have depression? Almost 19 million people in the United States do. And that number is on the rise because of our current climate in the U.S. COVID-19. Loneliness. Political unrest.  Isolation. Quarantine. Favorite activities are canceled.  It can be difficult to cope. The stresses of life can be weary and draining.

It’s not just adults who battle depression.  Children and teenagers can also experience it. Negative self-image, bullying, social pressures, and unrealistic expectations can cause Depression disorders in children. The American Academy of Pediatrics notes that more children than ever are experiencing Depression, but at the same time, fewer are being treated.

Here are some common symptoms of Depression. If you or a family member can identify, you may want to see a professional therapist. All ABT Counseling medical staff are expertly trained to treat patients with Depression.
