Depression

You can resolve depression

Discover how a Calgary psychologist can help you feel good again.

We all feel depressed occasionally, depending on what is going on in our lives. With time, the feelings normally subside and we feel better. However, when depression becomes intense and persistent, it can overpower you and take control of your life.

Depression can be completely disabling.

Chronic depression can make getting out of bed challenging. Some days, you may feel like you don’t care about anything. You may feel helpless. At times, you may believe your situation is hopeless.

Symptoms of depression can include:

  • Feeling down, empty, or numb.
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions.
  • Feeling worthless or ashamed.
  • Lacking energy and motivation.
  • Difficulty sleeping, or sleeping too much.
  • Feeling restless and out of sorts.
  • Losing interest in normally enjoyable activities.

When you suffer from depression, you may have additional problems that weigh you down, such as:

  • Anxiety and stress
  • Exhaustion and burnout
  • Relationship problems
  • Career challenges
  • Distressing experiences
  • Troubling behaviours
  • Mental health issues

Depression is a common problem in our complicated world.

It may help to know that you’re not the only person who is struggling.

The good news is that depression is treatable.

There is hope. You don’t have to struggle.

As an experienced psychologist, I can help you to manage and even overcome depression.

I understand depression and know how to treat it effectively. I‘ve helped clients successfully address depression and a range of other problems for almost 20 years.
