Find Hope and Healing Through Depression
Are you or someone you love experiencing feelings of hopelessness or despair? You might find it hard to focus at work, struggle with sleep, notice changes in your appetite, or feel disconnected from activities you once enjoyed. These are all common signs of depression.
When these symptoms persist for more than two weeks and start to interfere with your daily life, they may indicate a major depressive episode. Depression is more common than many people realize—about 6.7% of Americans experience a depressive episode each year, and the lifetime risk is 17%. While depression can feel isolating and overwhelming, it’s important to know that help is available, and healing is possible.
Recognizing the Signs of Depression
Depression can manifest in various ways, including:
- Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
- Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Difficulty sleeping or sleeping too much
- Fatigue or lack of energy
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
- Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
If you recognize these signs in yourself or a loved one, know that you don’t have to face them alone.
