- Losing interest in things you used to enjoy
- Pulling away from people, church or responsibilities

- Feeling far from God, or that prayers aren’t reaching

Depression therapy questions
Is being depressed a sign of weak faith?
No. Depression is a common health condition that affects people of deep faith too. Treatment and faith can work together.
Do I need medication?
Many people improve with therapy alone. If medication might help, Dr. Plant can coordinate with your doctor.
What if I’m having thoughts of suicide?
Please call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911 now. This practice can’t respond to emergencies.
