Depression Counselling: Vancouver, BC
Counseling to Overcome Depression and Sadness
From time to time all of us feel sad or upset depending on a change in our situation, an event we were looking forward to that did not occur, or simply due to a lack of direction or focus for our lives. When this occasional sadness begins to occur more than sporadically or when the duration during each day continues to lengthen it may be time to consider addressing the issues that are causing this increase in sadness.

Whether or not you have depression, this is a good point to begin to work on the situations that are taking away from your joy and happiness of life and living. Your Vancouver BC counselor or psychologist will work with you on how to make healthy changes to your situation, your expectations of yourself, and to the relationships in your life. This creates an environment where you are able to live more purposefully and focus your energy and emotions on aspects that will create more fulfilling and enriching opportunities for you.
"Why am I depressed? Why do I feel hopeless?"
In some situations, this sadness turns chronic and continues to increase, possibly turning into depression. You may feel a sense of loss of interest in your daily activities, hobbies, social functions or sex. Feelings of helplessness or hopelessness where it seems likes nothing will make the situation better is another aspect that distinguishes sadness from depression. If you have noticed changes in sleeping or eating with no apparent reason such as dieting this may also indicate a symptom. You may notice difficulty concentrating at work or on home tasks that previously were not hard to maintain focus or you may notice you are irritable with those around you for no particular reason given the situation. Another component of depression is feeling agitated or restless or you may experience the opposite, feeling sluggish, a loss of energy, and fatigue. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms and want to discuss this, a Vancouver counsellor or psychologist trained in treating depression and loneliness is a great resource to help you determine if you are experiencing depression and what the next steps are to start to turn this process around.
