Depression is a persistant sadness that doesn't go away when circumstances change or a length of time passes after a sad event. Depression is deep-seated into the every day existence of the person experiencing it. Oftentimes people who don't understand these symptoms will give platitudes of "Just get over it", or "move on". But for the person experiencing depression this can be an impossible request that only compounds the shame and guilt associated with their depression. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression symptoms it's important to seek help. At Affinity Counseling Services we have a team of professional therapists who are trained in treating symptoms of anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD and other mental health disorders. If you're needing extra support in your mental health journey, we're here. Contact us by phone or online at www.counselingwithaffinity.com
