Austin Depression Therapy

What is it Depression?

Have you or someone you know experienced feelings of hopelessness or despair? Perhaps you have had difficulty working, sleep issues, weight fluctuations, or are no longer enjoying the things you used to. All of these things can be signs of depression.

When depressive symptoms last more than two weeks, and when they interfere in daily life, it is likely a major depressive episode. 6.7% of Americans experience a depressive episode in a given year, and the lifetime risk of having a depressive episode is 17%. It can be difficult to know what to do when this is happening to you, but help is available.
