let’s talk about
DEPRESSION
Depression can affect anyone, regardless of their circumstances or lifestyle. It can present as unescapable and overwhelming sadness, or may be less apparent, manifesting as persistent fatigue, a lack of motivation, or a sense of detachment from the world..
Unlike ordinary sadness, depression is a pervasive condition that can drain joy from daily life and make even the simplest tasks feel insurmountable.
When left untreated, depression can affect every facet of life, including relationships, work, and physical health.
At Sage Psychology, we provide tailored therapy for depression in Wimbledon and Epsom, helping you understand and navigate the root causes of your emotions while equipping you with strategies to regain balance and hope.
Depression is not just “feeling down.” It is a complex mental health condition that can present differently for everyone. Some common symptoms include but are not limited to:
Persistent low mood or sadness
Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
Fatigue or lack of energy
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Changes in appetite or weight
Insomnia or sleeping too much
Feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or self-criticism
Restlessness or irritability
Physical symptoms such as aches or pains without a clear cause
Thoughts of hopelessness or suicide
Some strategies TO MANAGE DEPRESSION
Acknowledge and validate your feelings: Depression is not a sign of weakness. Allow yourself to feel what you’re experiencing without judgment. Recognising and naming your emotions is a powerful first step toward processing them.
Set realistic goals: Depression often makes productivity difficult. Break tasks into small, manageable steps and celebrate even small wins to build momentum.
Establish routines: Structure can help stabilise your day. Regular meal times, gentle exercise, and a consistent sleep schedule can improve mood over time.
Engage in gentle activities: Activities that don’t require too much mental or physical energy—like walking, journaling, or listening to music—can help interrupt cycles of rumination.
Challenge unhelpful thoughts: Depression often distorts perceptions, amplifying negativity. Work to identify these patterns and consider alternative, more balanced perspectives.
Prioritise social connection: Seek out people who uplift and support you, even if you feel like withdrawing. Honest conversations with trusted friends or family can make a big difference.
Practice self-compassion: Treat yourself with the same kindness you’d offer a friend. Small acts of self-care can pave the way for healing.
