Depression is rarely monolithic. Its origins are often a complex interplay of genetic predisposition, neurochemical imbalances, psychological vulnerabilities, and environmental stressors.

You moved for a reason. Maybe for a job, a relationship, a fresh start, or the promise of a better life. But now that you’re here, everything feels unfamiliar and instead of feeling hopeful, you feel stuck and pretty much exhausted.

A dark night of the soul is a phrase that describes a deep and often painful period of emotional and spiritual crisis. Many who experience it feel overwhelmed by depression, despair, or a sense that life has lost its meaning.

Depression is often thought of as simply a mental health condition. While that is technically a true statement, depression should be considered more of a whole body condition.
