Anxiety and Depression Counselling

Anxiety and depression are consistently the most common reasons people seek counselling in Burnaby. It can be confusing to distinguish between everyday stress and clinical anxiety, but you don't have to navigate these feelings alone.

What Anxiety Looks Like

Anxiety often shows up as persistent and overwhelming worry. It can feel like your mind is racing and you are out of control. People struggling with anxiety may experience physical and emotional symptoms that make daily life difficult.

Common Symptoms

  • Constant Worry: Feeling on edge or tense.

  • Physical Symptoms: A racing heart, shortness of breath, or restlessness.

  • Irritability: Feeling easily annoyed or frustrated.

  • Difficulty Concentrating: Finding it hard to focus on tasks.

  • Sleep Problems: Trouble falling or staying asleep.

What Depression Looks Like

Depression is more than just feeling sad; it is a persistent state of low mood that affects how you think, feel, and function. It can feel like a heavy cloud that won't lift.

Common Symptoms

  • Persistent Sadness: A feeling of hopelessness or emptiness.

  • Loss of Interest: No longer enjoying hobbies.

  • Changes in Appetite: Significant weight loss or gain.

  • Fatigue: Feeling exhausted and a lack of energy.

  • Sleep Problems: Insomnia or sleeping too much.

  • Feelings of Worthlessness: Thoughts of guilt, hopelessness, or self-criticism.

It's important that we have a medical professional rule out possible biological factors that may contribute to anxiety or depression, such as thyroid imbalances or hormonal changes.
