Depression Therapy 

Depression counselling near you in Mombasa

Not just an “extreme version of sadness”.

Some degree of sadness or grief is a normal part of life, but when it starts to get in the way of living your daily life, or doesn’t go away, getting help can be a good option.

“Maybe I’m just sad.”
“Am I actually depressed?”
“But I have nothing to be sad about.”
“It’s getting harder and harder to get out of bed in the mornings.”
“I think it’s starting to affect my work…”
“All these negative thoughts are feeling debilitating”
“I’m exhausted no matter how much I sleep”
“I just feel empty and numb”
“I can’t handle this much longer…”

The thing is, depression is not just an extreme version of sadness, it doesn’t mean you’re “mentally weak”, and it’s not always tied to a circumstance.

We know if you could find a way out of feeling this way...you would. 

But here’s the deal, when you’re struggling with intense emotional pain, difficult thoughts that won’t just “go away”, chronic fatigue and/or anxiety, and feelings of being stuck or unmotivated...it makes it extremely difficult to want to do just about anything.

We understand, and we can help. 

We don’t view depression as a form of ‘lingering sadness’, we know it’s much deeper.

As Alena Hall in the Huffington Post said: “Sadness is a passing emotional state, whereas depression is a chronic emotional condition in which emotional states themselves are warped, entrenched, and accompanied by other severe symptoms.”
