Depression Therapy in Muskoka- Parry Sound
Depression
Depression can be like a boulder on your chest. It can sap you of all energy and motivation, leaving you constantly sad or even just numb. Depression can cause problems with work, relationships, and even day-to-day functioning like hygiene.
Depression can cause you to feel totally unmotivated, hopeless, or lethargic. It can also lead to insomnia or over-sleeping, lack of appetite or over-eating, feelings of worthlessness, self-harm, and thoughts of suicide.
s unlikely as it sounds, counselling can help. At Parry Sound COunselling we address depression on two levels: first by helping you to manage symptoms on a day-to-day basis so you can begin to take your life back, and second by finding and addressing the underlying causes of your depression.
There is hope for dealing with your depression. We Can Help.

Grief and Loss
he pain of grief is some of the worst sufferings that a human being can experience. Whether you’ve lost a family member, a friend, a relationship, a pet, or some kind of physical functioning, adapting to loss is an awful experience that can leave you feeling overwhelmed and hopeless.
There are many different symptoms of grief, and experiencing them together can be disorienting. The most common symptoms are sadness, anger, guilt, anxiety, loneliness, fatigue, helplessness, shock, yearning, relief, numbness, disbelief, confusion, preoccupation, hallucinations, sleep disturbances, appetite disturbances, and social withdrawal. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms in response to a loss, you are not “crazy”; you are actually totally normal.
