When should I seek help for depression?

I've been feeling really down lately. How do I know if I need to seek help for depression?

What if I feel like I can handle it on my own?

It's great to feel self-reliant, but sometimes talking to a professional can provide support and tools that help you cope better.

Are there specific symptoms I should look out for?

Yes, symptoms like persistent sadness, changes in appetite or sleep, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating are key indicators.

How do I find a therapist or counselor?

You can start by asking your doctor for recommendations, searching online directories, or checking with your insurance provider.
