Toms River is known to be a family town. The type of place you put roots down with someone. However, families look different for every person, and for many people, divorce is a part of that picture.
Over half of marriages end in divorce. Whether your divorce was amicable, mutual, healthy, toxic, a nightmare, something you’d rather forget, or a peaceful parting between two friends, depression can still find you after the final papers have been signed.
The end of anything, whether it was good, bad, or something in between, is sad. It can be hard for the brain and body to adjust to your new reality as an unmarried person. That, coupled with the stress of divorce and coparenting, means depression is all too common an experience.
When left alone, depression after a divorce can solidify into a sludge that’s hard to scrape from your life. Treating depression symptoms as they come and taking a proactive approach to your mental health after a divorce is important, and a Toms River depression therapist is just the person to help.
Divorce is the end of one story and the start of another. This transition can be difficult, and depression is common. If you’re feeling down, sad, or numb, let our Toms River Depression therapists help.

A divorce counselor can help you determine what the right path forward is for you.
