Depression Counseling in Cornersville, TN.

Depression is a mood disorder that can cause a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest that can interfere with daily functioning. Reaching out for help is a step towards wellness. Symptoms of depression can vary from person to person, but it is a very treatable condition. Therapy for depression helps you overcome the feelings of hopelessness and despair and to gain control of your life.

Depression has many faces... and many causes. While some depression can be genetically or organically based, most grows out of the overwhelmingly painful or discouraging circumstances that come upon many of us gradually or suddenly. A safe, caring, insightful and supportive therapeutic environment where a person can explore the roots of their particular struggle with depression can be a key component of navigating the doldrums of a depressive season of life. My involvement with clients struggling with depression includes attention to physical, psychological, and spiritual factors that are contributing to the persons experience.

Many clients come to Ramon Presson because they know he's not only professionally qualified to effectively counsel people suffering with depression, but is uniquely equipped to do so having recovered from severe depression himself earlier in his life. Says Presson, "I know what the black pit feels like, what it feels like to sink in quicksand in the dark, to wonder if anyone can help, and wonder if I'll ever be happy again. Blessedly, I also know what the journey of recovery involves and what it feels like to make it. I've lived it. I can help."

Depression affects every aspect of one’s life. Depression not only affects you but everyone around you. It is estimated that more than 19 million Americans will suffer from some form of mood disorder (including depression) this year alone! The National Institute of Mental Health indicates that more than 80% of those suffering from depression could be helped with the available medications and therapies, but that an estimated two thirds will not seek treatment. Don’t be one of the millions who fall in that category! Take the first step today toward a brighter and more hopeful tomorrow.

Depression is like walking through life carrying a 100-1,000 lb boulder on your shoulders. It is difficult, it's heavy, and often it takes all of you to get from point a to point b in your day and even that is difficult. Having a space to share how your depression looks, feels, and what you think about your depression is the first step to discovering steps to healing.
