Feeling sad, discouraged, hopeless, scared, or nervous are all normal emotions when they are experienced in moderation. Sometimes, though, these feelings can take over and become the norm when they should be the exception. You may have trouble getting out of bed in the morning, or even functioning on a day-to-day basis. If you’re feeling any of these things frequently for no apparent reason, meeting with a therapist can help you feel whole again. When depression takes control, seeing a licensed, professional psychologist will help you treat and overcome these obstacles.
