Description
Depression and addiction frequently occur simultaneously. In fact, one out of three depressed people also suffer from some form of substance abuse or dependence. We understand you may be hurting. You may feel alone, suffering under an unbearable sense of grief, sadness, hopelessness, or isolation. But you are not alone. In the United States, 16 million Americans battle depression every year, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Those with depression are fighting against persistent feelings of loneliness, pessimism, and worthlessness that cause normal daily interaction with family and friends to seem daunting. Depression affects every person differently, but depression is treatable. At our Oak Forest Recovery depression treatment center in Los Angeles, we can provide you the effective depression treatment you need to recover.
What Does Depression Look Like?
Depression symptoms vary from person to person and involve more than just a blue mood. Depression is a brain disorder and it can impact a person’s day-to-day functioning, making it difficult to hold a job, complete school, or maintain a healthy relationship. Experiencing even some of the symptoms of depression for a prolonged period of time might be an indicator that seeking treatment at Oak Forest Recovery depression treatment clinic would be helpful. Depression symptoms include the following:
- Restlessness, fatigue, or lack of motivation
- An increase in irritability or impatience
- Fear of expressing strong emotions or constant anxiety about the future
- Constantly feel unappreciated by others
- Process your anger through a pattern of impulsive thinking or brash judgments
- Recurrent or persistent headaches, muscle aches, body pains, and gastrointestinal problems
- Keeping yourself socially isolated and distanced from family and friends
- Feel trapped by life or showing a pattern of pessimistic comments and behavior
- Ignoring eating or binge eating
- Preferring to do things alone instead of with others
- Having zero motivation for new activities, new ideas, or new relationships
