Emotions

Sadness

Sadness can separate you from the ones you love and the activities you enjoy. When sadness overtakes your life, it can come with other behaviors like sleeping too much or too little, negative thoughts, loss of energy, changes in physical appearance, and more. All of this can add up to an overall depressed state. Counseling can help by understand the source of your sadness, developing new positive behaviors, and reconnecting you to the people that matter. Below are more resources to help understand your sadness and depression. Contact Carlos Mendoza, MA, LPC, for more information. 

Biology

Depending on who you ask,  changes in your brain chemicals can lead to depression, or your sadness can change your brain chemicals (chicken or the egg). Whichever the case, your brain is involved. ASAP Science overviews some of the biological parts of depression. 

Thougths and Cognition

Depression comes with its negative thoughts. Research shows that changing some of your thoughts and cognitions can help you out of your depressed state, even changing the physical properties of your brain. Below is an overview of that process. Counseling can help you refine your thoughts.

Our Faustian evolutionary bargain allows us as humans to develop slowly outside the womb, to adapt to specific cultures and environments, and to grow the most encephalized brains on the planet. But it requires us to pay for it with the possibility of pain, real pain, every time we connect with another human being who has the power to leave us or withhold love. Evolution made its bet that suffering was an acceptable price to pay for all the rewards of being human." - Social by Matthew D. Lieberman
