Understanding Depression: More Than Just Sadness
Support for When the Fog Won’t Lift.
Depression counselling in Singapore can help when depression affects your thoughts, emotions, and daily activities, making it hard to find joy or meaning in life. Depression is more than just feeling sad or going through a tough time—it’s a persistent condition that can impact every aspect of your life.
According to Temasek Trust, one in seven people in Singapore experiences a mental disorder in their lifetime, highlighting the importance of seeking support.
Depression can manifest in different ways, including:
A constant sense of heaviness or hopelessness
Loss of interest in hobbies, relationships, or work
Struggling with physical symptoms like fatigue or appetite changes
Feeling disconnected from life or motivation
Through depression counselling in Singapore, you can work to identify these feelings and take steps toward recovery.
Types of Depression Addressed Through Counselling in Singapore
Depression shows up differently for everyone. At Listening Ear Counselling & Consultancy Pte. Ltd., we tailor our support to meet the specific type of depression you’re experiencing:
A long-term, ongoing form of depression where symptoms may be less severe but linger for years. It can lead to ongoing fatigue, low self-esteem, and difficulty feeling joy—even during good times.
More than just “baby blues,” this type affects new mothers in the weeks or months after childbirth. It may include feelings of overwhelm, detachment, anxiety, and guilt, impacting both the mother and her ability to bond with the baby.
Linked to seasonal changes, often during months with reduced sunlight. Symptoms include low energy, irritability, increased sleep, and social withdrawal, typically recurring at the same time each year.
Characterised by mood reactivity—temporary mood improvement in response to positive events—but with persistent symptoms like fatigue, increased appetite, and heightened sensitivity to rejection.
