What Depression Really Looks Like in Adults: Signs, Struggles, and Paths to Healing

More people struggle with depression than are willing to admit it. Because of stigmas and stereotypes surrounding depression, it can be hard to spot in yourself or others. We assume that it will be obvious, that there will be constant sadness and hiding from the world. But depression doesn’t always look like staying in a dark room under your blankets. Remember Kate Spade, Robin Williams, and Anthony Bourdain!

Many people who live with depression are married, have kids, and go to work. But none of those come easily when you are grappling with untreated depression. Depression can lead to physical and mental exhaustion and stagnation; those who are depressed can struggle to complete day to day tasks, remember important events, and/or pursue goals and dreams, even those they deeply desire.

What Is Neuropsychological Testing and Do I (or My Child) Need It?

Neuropsychological testing is one of the most powerful tools for understanding how the brain affects thinking, learning, behavior, and emotions. Whether you’re a parent concerned about your child’s school performance or an adult struggling with memory or focus, neuropsych testing can offer clarity, direction, and peace of mind. Neuropsychological testing has grown in prevalence over the past twenty or so years; if you’re an adult who is seeking or has obtained a later-life diagnosis, such as ADHD, you may have benefited from testing that simply wasn’t common before the early 2000s. While there is no way to go back in time and obtain this information, you can make the most of your resources now to ensure that you and/or your child have the best supports in place for your or their unique neuropsychological profile.

The Role of Self-Compassion in Overcoming BDD

When you live with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), your inner critic can become unbearably loud. The mirror feels like an enemy. The urge to “fix” or hide perceived flaws can take over your day. As a Body Dysmorphic Disorder counselor in Woodland Hills, I often hear from people how invasive their BDD is. But one powerful, often overlooked tool in the healing process is self-compassion—the practice of treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer a loved one.

The Emotional Toll of BFRBs: How Mental Health Affects Your Behavior

The emotional toll of BFRBs (Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors) often goes far beyond the physical symptoms. For many individuals, behaviors like skin picking, hair pulling, or nail biting are not simply “bad habits”—they’re deeply connected to mental health struggles such as anxiety, depression, and OCD. When emotional pain goes unspoken, it often finds expression through the body. BFRBs can be misunderstood and stigmatized, especially when people are afraid to share their experiences, but there are many sufferers.
