Depression feels like sadness, hopelessness, isolation and pessimism. If you feel anxious or "empty" you could be clinically depressed. Many people try to self-medicate for depression by using alcohol, tobacco, prescription or illegal substances.
When self-medicating, it's easy to lose control and become addicted. Depression is no joke, and you should never feel ashamed or alone - there is help out there. Because so many of us struggle with depression, many of us are able to support you when you are down.
For help with drug abuse or any other issue associated with depression, reach out to Primary Purpose Behavioral Health today.
For many, depression doesn’t just feel like sadness—it’s more like carrying a constant weight that makes even simple tasks exhausting. Some describe it as numbness, others as hopelessness, and often it comes with anxiety or intrusive thoughts. No matter how it shows up, depression is real and deeply personal. At LifeQuality TMS in Brooklyn, Dr. Rudoy and his experienced team understand these struggles. With for depression TMS therapy, a noninvasive and proven treatment, we help patients move beyond the heaviness of depression, anxiety, and OCD, offering a path toward genuine relief and renewed energy for life.
