Depression Treatment at LIV Recovery in Alpharetta

Depression is a mental illness that affects what you think, feel, and do.

Among other things, depression can cause feelings of hopelessness. You may have lost interest in activities you once enjoyed. Depression can make you tired or can even cause physical pain.

It can be hard to see a way out of depression.

But there is hope. Depression is a treatable illness, and we can help. 

What is Depression?

Depression, sometimes referred to as major depressive disorder or clinical depression, is more than sadness, although that’s one possible symptom. And it’s different from the grief that sometimes follows loss.

Depression Symptoms 

Typically, depression lasts at least two weeks and includes some of these symptoms:

• Depressed mood — feeling sad, empty, or hopeless most of the day, nearly every day
• Diminished interest or pleasure in all or almost all activities
• Weight loss or gain
• Sleeping too little or too much
• Being so restless or moving so slowly that others notice
• Fatigue or loss of energy
• Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
• Trouble concentrating
• Thoughts about death or suicide

Keep in mind there are several kinds of depression, and your symptoms may look different from someone else’s. Your depression treatment plan will look different, too.
