Understanding Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety and depression are among the most common mental health conditions, yet they are often misunderstood. While occasional worry or low mood is a normal part of life, clinical anxiety and depression persist over time, interfere with daily functioning, and can significantly impact your relationships, work, and overall well-being.
At In Therapy, we recognize that these conditions exist on a spectrum. What causes anxiety or depression in one person may differ from another, which is why we take a personalized, clinically grounded approach to treatment. You don't have to navigate this alone.
When to Seek Support
Consider reaching out to a professional if you're experiencing:
- Persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness lasting more than two weeks
- Excessive worry, restlessness, or difficulty controlling anxious thoughts
- Changes in sleep, appetite, or energy levels
- Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
- Physical symptoms like headaches, stomach issues, or unexplained tension
- Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or completing daily tasks
- Feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or recurrent thoughts of self-harm
