Depression
Depression is one of the most common mental health difficulties and can happen to anyone at any stage of their lives. It involves having a low mood or a loss of interest and pleasure in activities. Depression can affect how you think, feel, and function on a daily basis, and many people who access depression counselling in Norwich describe feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from their usual sense of self.
Depression is different from regular fluctuations in everyday mood. It can affect various aspects of life including relationships with family and friends, work or school, and overall wellbeing. If you experience mild levels of depression, you may still be able to carry on with daily life, but things may feel harder and less worthwhile. However, if you experience more severe levels of depression, you might struggle to get on with day-to-day activities and or find it difficult to see a way forward without support.
Depression counselling in Norwich can help you explore these experiences in a supportive and structured way.
Common symptoms of depression include:
- Low or sad mood.
- Feeling empty or numb.
- Restlessness, irritability, or agitation over minor issues.
- Hopelessness and despair.
- Feeling isolated and unable to relate to others.
- A lack of motivation and enthusiasm for things.
- Withdrawing from usually enjoyable activities.
- Feeling tired all the time.
- Difficulties with concentration.
- Changes in appetite or weight.
- Sleep difficulties.
- Thoughts about dying or suicide.
Not everyone will experience all of these symptoms, and their intensity can vary over time. Depression counselling in Norwich can support you in understanding how these symptoms show up for you and how they are affecting your daily life and relationships.
At Angsana Psychology, our depression counselling in Norwich can help adults and children to overcome the many difficulties that depression can bring. Therapy provides a confidential and supportive space where you can talk openly about how depression is impacting you, without pressure or judgement.
