- Depression Counseling

Battling depression can feel like a lonely fight. This often misunderstood mood disorder is far more common than most people realize, affecting one in six adults at some point in their life. You may be tempted to ignore these feelings, thinking they’re just part of the normal ups and downs of life. However, depression is a serious mental health condition that can have a long-lasting impact on your mental and physical well-being.
Thankfully, depression is highly treatable when you receive compassionate and professional depression counseling. The skilled therapists at Taylor Counseling Group are here for those fighting depression and depressive feelings throughout Central Texas.
If you have felt sad for a long time and it’s interfering with your everyday life, we want to walk with you to work toward recovery and healing from depression.

How to Know if You Need Help for Depression
It’s normal to feel down, blue or to have a bad day. That’s why far too many people ignore depression, believing their feelings will eventually go away. While no one knows the exact cause for depression, it seems to be the result of a variety of factors — psychological, genetic and environmental.
The important thing to realize is that anyone can experience depression, no matter your age, race or socioeconomic background. Depression also comes with a high risk of suicide or addiction, so it’s important to look out for the signs of this insidious mental health condition, including:
- Often feeling sad or anxious
- Hopelessness or feeling worthless or helpless
- Disinterest in things you used to enjoy
- Apathy
- Irritability or frustration
- Sleep disruptions or sleep difficulties
- Changes in appetite
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Fatigue, even after a good night’s rest
- Thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself
If you’ve experienced any of these symptoms for over two weeks, then you are likely struggling with depression. We invite you to take this online depression quiz if you’re concerned that you may be suffering from this disorder.
