Depression has a significant impact on cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning.

Increased hopelessness, decreased self care, lack of pleasure, isolation, intense sadness or numbness are just a few of the symptoms that may be experienced with depression.

Physical symptoms include inability to sleep or sleeping too much which lead to ongoing feelings of exhaustion, loss of appetite, reduced energy and concentration. One may experience a significant decrease in self esteem and an overall sense of not feeling like oneself.
