If you’ve been feeling down, drained, or disconnected from the things and people you care about, you might be experiencing depression. While it’s one of the most common mental health struggles, it can also feel incredibly isolating.
At First Step Men’s Therapy, we provide compassionate, evidence-based depression therapy in Markham to help you find relief, regain motivation, and reconnect with your life—one step at a time.
When Low Mood Turns into Depression
Everyone feels sad or unmotivated from time to time. But if these feelings have lasted for weeks or months—or are starting to affect your relationships, career, or health—it may be something more.
You might be dealing with depression if you’ve noticed:
Ongoing feelings of sadness, emptiness, or numbness
Lack of energy or motivation
Difficulty getting out of bed or completing daily tasks
Loss of interest in activities or people you once enjoyed
Changes in sleep, appetite, or weight
Increased irritability, shame, or hopelessness
Thoughts like “What’s the point?” or “I’ll never feel better”
Depression isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a mental health condition. And like any health issue, support can make a huge difference.
How Therapy Helps with Depression
Our Markham-based therapists are trained to help you understand, manage, and move through depression at your pace. You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Therapy can help you:

Learn tools for managing daily stress and overwhelm
