Schedule an appointment with a Sadness Therapist in Lakeview, Chicago
Sadness is an emotional response to an event or experience that causes an individual to feel low, unmotivated, unhappy, and sorrowful. It is important to treat early signs of sadness before they develop into major depressive disorder, and/or create negative and unhealthy means of coping such as alcoholism, substance abuse, and eating disorders. Therapists can help patients overcome feelings of sadness by gaining an understanding of emotional origins, as well as focusing on strengths, positivity, interests, and courage.
