Depression

What is Depression?

Depression is a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness,
hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in activities.

It is a serious medical illness that can affect how you think, feel, and function in daily life.

Depression is a leading cause of disability. In the US, estimates suggest one in 12 people experienced
at least one major Depressive episode in the past year – and this is increasing.

Symptoms of Depression include:

Pervasive feelings of sadness, emptiness or hopelessness

Difficulty with sleep, including insomnia or excessive sleep

Trouble concentrating, making decisions, or with memory

Frequent thoughts of death, suicide, or self-harm, as escape

If these symptoms exist for 2 weeks or longer, you may be suffering from Depression.
Living with Depression is difficult. But with effective treatment, you can defeat Depression – and enjoy life again.

I was in the Army, and experienced Depression. I’d get triggered by the smallest things and it would last for days. Virtual EMDR does what it says It does – it brought the trauma to the surface to be dealt with and banished the depression
