Depression is not just an emotional state; it is a mental health condition that affects the mind and body, impacting over 280 million people worldwide. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), various factors contribute to an increased risk of developing depression in Tampa FL, and Brandon FL, including genetic, biological, and environmental factors.

  1. Persistent sadness

  2. Feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness, or low self-esteem

  3. Fatigue

  5. Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities

  6. Changes in sleep patterns

  7. Changes in weight or appetite

  8. Intense boredom

  9. Physical pain or in inflammation

  10. Suicidal thoughts

If you relate to the above symptoms, seeking mental health treatment may be rewarding. Treatment for depression in Tampa FL, and Brandon FL, could prevent symptoms from worsening and shorten the period that you experience depression. 

At times, depression may result from an adverse event, a significant life change, or a build-up of stress. Other times, the reason may not be apparent. The tendency toward major depressive disorder is biological, and a person with mental illness does not have control of the chemicals in their brain contributing to their diagnosis. Depression can also physically change the brain.  

When you are experiencing depressive symptoms, it may feel challenging to maintain your previous levels of functioning. If you have noticed difficulty functioning due to how you feel, consider seeking treatment. Thoughts of suicide are one of the severe symptoms of a major depressive episode. If you are having thoughts of hurting yourself, seek professional help at Star Point Counseling Center in Tampa FL, and Brandon FL, immediately.
