There is hope

Are feelings of sadness affecting your daily life, relationships, and energy? Everyone has experienced sadness at some point in their lives, but for many people that feeling remains consistent over a long period of time. You may feel stuck, lack motivation to do activities you typically enjoy, or experience changes in sleep patters. Depression can also lead to anxiety and panic attacks. If these feelings have been present over a period of time and have affected your daily life, it might be time to ask for help. Depression is very common and is estimated to affect nearly 21 million adults in the United States. There is hope, and you are not alone. Counseling can help.
