There are a number of reasons why adults feel unhappy, such as chronic stress, loss of a loved one or object, unfulfilling relationships, dealing with life transitions, and/or feeling without a purpose/meaning in life.

These issues are extremely common; roughly 25% of adults in the United States experience depression each year. Unfortunately, only 1/3 of adults in distress actually seek professional help, which is surprising considering the proven benefit of psychotherapy. Research has repeatedly shown that psychotherapy patients report reduced symptoms and improved functioning compared to those who do not receive treatment.
