Are you experiencing loss of interest in doing the things you used to
    enjoy?
    Are you having trouble getting motivated or getting out of bed?
    Are you feeling hopeless?  Unable to see a brighter future?
    Are you feeling worthless or without direction?

    You are not alone! Depression is a common, and, as a high indicator in suicide,
    a potentially fatal disorder. Every year, depression affects over 20 million adult
    Americans. Family, friends, and other loved-ones are also affected, feeling
    helpless and lost. However, depression is a treatable disorder. There is hope!

Example depression therapy for men from my Denver, Colorado, psychotherapy
practice:
    It seems likely that men suffer from depression just as often as women, but  they are less likely
    to ask for help, keeping feelings of sadness and loneliness to themselves. Although
    depression can affects anyone, depression in men is more likely to appear as exhaustion,
    insomnia, and loss of interest in social or recreational activities. Men may also try to self-
    medicate their depression with drugs and alcohol, anger or violence, risky behaviors, or "tuning
    out" through work.

    As a therapist,  I work extensively with men, and have noticed that men often "fall" into
    depression as a result of internalized belief of failing to meet familial or societal expectations.

    A man came to see me with a case of severe depression. He had a sense of unworthiness and
    felt defective and adrift in his life. Together we looked at his habit of internalizing shame about
    who he is and his accomplishments in life.

    I asked about his life's vision. He expressed his goals and agreed to focus on small milestones
    to accomplish them. We celebrated his victories, encouraging him to aim higher and take on
    larger goals.

    One of his interests was photography, a vocation and hobby that we were able to translate into a
    community volunteer position. As a result of his work on a city project, he received an offer for a
    full-time, paid position.  Thus transforming his life. Click here for more information on men's

Example of depression therapy for women from my Denver, Colorado, mental
health practice:
    Depression can hijack a woman at any age. Like any other chronic illness, depression can be
    contained with psychotherapy, medication, and self-care.  In women, depression often appears
    as lethargy, lack of interest in activities and relationships, anxiety, and hopelessness. Women
    tend to self-medicate depression with hidden drug or alcohol abuse, such as through excessive
    use of prescription medication, or "tuning out" through sleep and food.

    A female client recently came to my office for help with clinical depression.  With a previous
    history with depression, she had been doing well for the past few years.  She had gotten an
    advanced degree and started a career that she enjoyed.  However, as she got involved in a new  
    relationship, feelings of guilt and hopelessness began to trouble her.  She got irritable and
    distant, was losing interest in sex, and was increasingly fearful, sad, with a sense of losing
    control of her life. She had gained weight and could not "get out of bed" most mornings.

    With exploration of past and recent events, it became clear that unresolved early abandonment
    and loss were being retriggered in the present.  Fear of rejection, and loss of self identity were
    fueling an old pattern of sadness and isolation.   With therapeutic support she was able to
    overcome thee struggles and be an active participant in her own life.
