Depression isn’t something you can always see in people. But if you find your struggling with apathy, physical fatigue, losing interest in your passions or hobbies, feelings of loneliness, isolation, and/or struggling with finding joy, there is help available.
One of the hardest challenges is believing that things can change. You may have tried to force yourself to exercise or get out of the house in the past but it didn’t help. This can reinforce the false notion that nothing can help. You may be afraid that friends and family may find out and think of you differently. Understand that many high-functioning leaders still struggle with mental health disorders, including depression. Needing help doesn’t make you weak, you may have a biological chemical imbalance that can be helped.
