Depression Treatment
Depression Isn’t Just Sadness—It’s Numbness, Exhaustion, and Silence. And You Don’t Have to Face It Alone.
When you’re living with depression, it doesn’t always show up as crying or breakdowns. Sometimes, it’s just… emptiness.
The constant fatigue. The loss of motivation. The low-grade hopelessness that won’t go away.
The voice in your head telling you it’s your fault—and convincing you no one would understand.
At Metro Recovery Center, we see behind the mask. We offer comprehensive, trauma-informed treatment for depression, designed for clients who are tired of pretending they’re fine and ready to actually feel better—with real tools, real connection, and real support.

What Depression Can Feel Like
Persistent fatigue or difficulty getting out of bed
Disconnection from family, work, or yourself
Irritability, numbness, or a sense of “going through the motions
Feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or internal emptiness
Thoughts of self-harm, suicide, or giving up
Substance use to feel something—or to feel nothing
