Therapist Manhattan

Depression often presents through physical symptoms like stomach aches, headaches, changes in sleep patterns, and even difficulties with motor control. While the exact causes of depression remain unknown, genetics and environmental factors—such as trauma or major life changes—can increase vulnerability. Depression is more frequently diagnosed in women and may appear differently depending on gender.

Many individuals experience heightened depression symptoms following childbirth or during seasonal changes, particularly in late fall. Depression and anxiety are closely linked, often intensifying one another. Those affected may struggle to focus on conversations or daily tasks, and some may turn to substances or food to cope—leading to additional health issues. In more severe cases, depression may result in self-harm risk.

Depression is a mental health condition marked by prolonged emotional distress. Common symptoms include:

• Sadness

• Guilt

• Exhaustion

• Lack of motivation

• Social withdrawal

• Art therapy

• Medication
