When It’s More Than Just a Bad Week

Feeling numb
Moving through the day on autopilot
Losing motivation
Irritability or withdrawal
Sleeping too much or too little
Quiet hopelessness

At Therayology, we look beyond surface symptoms. Our therapists assess patterns, nervous system responses, and relational history to understand what is sustaining depression.

May benefit from EMDR therapy in Milwaukee or Wauwatosa as part of their depression treatment plan.
