Isolation or withdrawing from others is another sign of depression. Many people find it hard to be around other people, so you separate yourself from family and friends.

Stress-related disorders can cause significant personal distress, negatively influence interpersonal relationships, and reduce your overall quality of life. Common traumatizing events include serious accidents or injuries, sexual violence, death-threatening violence, military combat, natural disasters, and sudden and violent loss of a loved one.

Couples
Is it hard for you to talk about how you feel?
Do you long for more passion and intimacy?
Are you constantly fighting and feel you're growing apart?

At the root of many difficult relationships is an inability to communicate how you feel, what you need, and where you desire to go (your dreams). Relationship counseling can help you learn to communicate these things without attacking or blaming your partner.

You will learn to share your dreams and positively support one another. This will help to deepen your connection with one another so you can find more joy in doing life together. The key is recognizing problems early and getting help to resolve them.
