Everyone experiences low moods now and then—but when sadness lingers, motivation disappears, and everyday tasks feel exhausting, it may be more than just a rough patch. At Blue Umbrella Psychiatry, we want to help you recognize when what you’re feeling might be clinical depression—and offer the support you need to begin healing.

Depression doesn’t always look the way people expect. While some individuals may feel tearful or withdrawn, others keep pushing through with a smile, feeling numb or disconnected inside. That’s why it’s often misunderstood or missed, especially during seasons when you’re "supposed" to feel upbeat—like summer.

Common Signs of Depression Include:



• Feeling persistently sad, empty, or hopeless
  
  
• Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
  
  
• Fatigue or low energy, even after rest
  
  
• Changes in sleep or appetite
  
  
• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  
  
• Feeling worthless or overly self-critical

At Blue Umbrella Psychiatry, our providers take time to understand your full story—because mental health is never one-size-fits-all. Whether your symptoms have built slowly or come on suddenly, we’ll work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that may include therapy, lifestyle support, and if appropriate, medication.

You Don’t Have to Go Through This Alone

Depression is treatable, and asking for help is a sign of strength—not weakness. Our therapists and psychiatric providers are here to walk alongside you with empathy, evidence-based care, and hope. If you’re unsure whether what you’re feeling is "serious enough" to reach out, know that we are always here to listen and support your next step.

Call 954-341-5215 to schedule a consultation at Blue Umbrella Psychiatry. You deserve to feel better—and we’re ready to help you get there.
