Depression is characterized by sad moods, diminished interest in pleasurable activities, weight gain or loss, psychomotor agitation or retardation, fatigue, inappropriate guilt, difficulties concentrating, as well as recurrent thoughts of death. But depression is more than a “bad day”; diagnostic criteria established by the American Psychiatric Association dictate that five or more of the above symptoms must be present for at least two weeks. (CDC, 2013)

No, you don't have too many issues to address in counseling.

Feel alive again; solution focused and goal oriented therapy

It can feel overwhelming sometimes when we reach a point in our lives when we say to ourselves; I think I want and/or need counseling.

Michele Ramey

MRTherapy, LLC- Because Help Is One Of A Kind

Hmm... so, what part about this do you want him to take seriously? That you're depressed and you want him to acknowledge it or that you want help for it? One way to help him to "take you seriously" is to take yourself seriously. Maybe actively working on the depression will show him that you are... more

Can I change my feeling of being worthless to everyone?

Michele Ramey

MRTherapy, LLC- Because Help Is One Of A Kind
