DEPRESSION
Depression is a common yet deeply challenging mood disorder that can affect how you think, feel, and function in daily life. Many clients describe depression as a persistent heaviness, a sense of emotional “grey,” or feeling disconnected even when surrounded by friends or loved ones. Some individuals experience high-functioning depression, appearing outwardly fine while struggling internally with overwhelming sadness, fatigue, or hopelessness.
As a licensed psychologist in San Mateo, Dr. Peter Gleiberman, Psy.D., provides compassionate, evidence-based therapy for depression. He offers a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences and begin building the skills and insights needed for relief and long-term wellbeing.
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION
Depression can look different from person to person. Below are common signs and symptoms, though each individual’s experience is unique:
-
Persistent sadness, low mood, irritability, or anger
-
Feeling isolated, disconnected, or emotionally numb
-
Loss of interest in hobbies or activities once enjoyed
-
Low motivation or difficulty concentrating
-
Decreased self-esteem or feelings of hopelessness or helplessness
-
Physical symptoms such as appetite changes, sleep disruptions, headaches, or body aches
If you recognize these symptoms in yourself, therapy can help you understand the underlying causes, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful emotional and behavioral change.
