What depression can feel like

Depression is different for everyone. Some people describe it like this:

  • Feeling flat, heavy or empty for weeks at a time
  • Losing interest in things that used to matter to you
  • Sleeping much more, or much less, than usual
  • Finding small tasks hard to start or finish
  • Feeling tired, foggy or slowed down
  • Being hard on yourself most of the time

This is not a checklist or a test, and it cannot tell you whether you have depression. A doctor or a therapist can talk it through with you.

Therapists on BetterHelp do not prescribe medication. If you want to ask about medical options, a doctor can discuss them with you.

If you are thinking about suicide or harming yourself, call or text 988 now. In an emergency, call 911.

Before you reach out

  1. Read slowly. A profile's about section shows how a therapist describes their work.
  2. Check the details. Confirm a therapist can work with people where you live.
  3. Ask your questions. It is fine to ask about approach, experience and practical arrangements first.

Start with one profile. You do not have to decide everything today. Read therapist profiles
