&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is Depression?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s perfectly normal to feel sad or lonely at times. These are healthy responses to life&amp;rsquo;s struggles. However, sometimes the feelings of hopelessness and despair can become overwhelming.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Such feelings may seriously disrupt a person&amp;rsquo;s ability to function normally, and last for long periods of time (e.g. weeks to months).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;In such cases, these symptoms may point towards clinical depression.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The symptoms of depression differ between person to person and vary with age, gender and background. However, there are some common themes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you find that many of the items on the above list of depression symptoms apply to you, this may indicate that you are suffering from depression.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;et_pb_text_inner&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Deciding on how to treat depression depends on its cause &amp;ndash; understanding the underlying cause of your depression may help you overcome the problem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Depression which is caused by personal circumstances can be best treated by changing those circumstances.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;For example, if your depression is caused by a toxic work environment, seeking a new workplace or career may be the best treatment. Depression caused by loneliness can be alleviated by going out to social events and meeting new people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;However, experiencing depression may make you feel helpless to take such action. In the meantime, you can take a few simple steps to alleviate some of your symptoms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Isolation fuels depression, so&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;reach out to friends&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;and loved ones, even if you feel like being alone or don&amp;rsquo;t want to be a burden to others. The simple act of talking to someone face-to-face about how you feel can be an enormous help. The person you talk to doesn&amp;rsquo;t have to be able to fix you. He or she just needs to be a good listener&amp;mdash;someone who&amp;rsquo;ll listen attentively without being distracted or judging you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;When you think of treating depression, you&amp;rsquo;ll probably think of antidepressants and talk therapy first. Taking a balanced approach that incorporates mind, body and soul helps.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Although we can&amp;rsquo;t change your life situation, we can help you feel better, more confident, and in control. We work towards your objectives, and explain more about the program as we progress each session so you know what&amp;rsquo;s ahead every session.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
