The word depression is often used to describe a set of depressive orders.  The common feature of all the depressive disorders is the presence of sad, empty or irritable moods that can significantly affect the individual’s capacity to function.    There are times when anxiety and depression walk hand in hand in an individual.  We will work together to explore depressive thoughts and reframe into more realistic and optimistic patterns of thinking. 

There are times when depressive thoughts are also thoughts of self-harm or suicide.  If you or a loved one is experiencing suicidal thoughts, you must seek professional help immediately. You could call a friend and go to the nearest emergency room. There is 24/7 free National Suicidal Prevention Lifeline 1(800) 273-8255.
