Depression is often misunderstood. 

It’s not just sadness. It’s not just “feeling down.” And it’s definitely not something you can snap out of with a positive attitude or a weekend getaway. 

For many people, depression feels like a fog that never lifts — or a weight that makes everything harder than it should be. It’s waking up tired, feeling disconnected from yourself and others, and wondering if things will ever change. 

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to stay stuck. 

The changing seasons bring more than just shifts in temperature and scenery—they can also have a profound impact on our mood and mental health.

As the first day of spring arrives, the world around us begins to transform. The days grow longer, the air feels lighter, and nature awakens with vibrant colors and new life. Just as the earth renews itself, spring offers us a chance for renewal—especially when it comes to our mental health.
