Mental Health Issues
You probably hear people say "I feel depressed" all the time, but depression is more than just a feeling of deep sadness.
In fact, some people with depression may not feel sad at all -- they may feel angry, guilty, worthless, anxious, or even numb. Most people with depression will lose interest in the things they used to care about, such as activities or friendships.
We're big on the mind-body connection at Life by Design Therapy, and depression offers a great example of how our minds and bodies are connected. The symptoms of depression can be just as physical as they are mental.
Depression can make you more or less hungry, can make you sleep too much or too little, or even make you move faster or slower than usual. In short, it's a physical illness as much as it is a psychological one.
This is just one reason why we use the mind-body connection and principles of somatic therapy in our approach to treating depression and other mental health issues at Life by Design Therapy.
