From Psychology Today
It is not uncommon for people to notice several symptoms of depression without wanting to label themselves as depressed. As this Psychology Today article points out, depression does not always look the way we expect it to. Whatever kind of pain you are in, it deserves to be acknowledged and taken seriously.
A Note From PPG
Depression can show up in different ways for different people, and the words people use for it vary too. You do not need a label to ask for support. If you would like to talk with someone about low mood or other symptoms, individual therapy is one place to start. You may also find our post on signs it may be time to seek therapy useful.
If you are in immediate danger or thinking about harming yourself, call 911, or call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
