A thriving community of around 54,000 people, Wheaton (IL) continues to prosper as a destination for Chicagoland commerce, culture, dining and residential living. It also remains a nationally recognized center of religious faith.
Throughout Wheaton, one can recognize the results of ambition, education, hard work and a hopeful, charitable spirit. At the same time, its residents are people just as we all are, and regardless of the circumstances, any one of us can go through times of confusion and distress.
Whether as a medical condition or the increasing symptoms of a stressful period, anxiety and depression are not selective about whom they afflict. We can be at the peak of fortune or the valley of loss and still find ourselves suffering or susceptible.
Anxiety and depression reach across our country. Consider these recent statistics:
About a third (32.3%) of U.S. adults surveyed reported anxiety and depression symptoms.
An estimated 31% of U.S. adults experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives.
Nearly 10% of Americans suffer from depression, most commonly among young adults 18–25.
As many as 37% of university and college students in the U.S. have depression.
20% of Americans will experience a mental illness in a given year; more than 50% will be diagnosed with a mental illness or disorder at some point in their lives.
If you or someone you care about in Wheaton is battling depression or anxiety, Eunoia Counseling offers you a port in the storm for navigating difficulty, better understanding yourself and returning your inner self to peace.
Anxiety Treatment for Wheaton (IL)
Eunoia Counseling provides caring, one-on-one counseling for Wheaton residents who struggle with generalized or situational anxiety. We also specialize in counseling for anxiety disorders.
Anxiety is a built-in human emotion. It serves to make us aware of what is safe and what is not and, in doing so, contributes to our survival.
For some of us, however, that internal mechanism can self-activate non-stop and fill our minds throughout the day. If this continues for too long, it can disrupt our peace of mind and even our ability to function within normal everyday circumstances. If it lasts long enough, it may advance into depression as well as impact our overall health.
Anxiety might last anywhere from weeks to months to a lifetime. Common symptoms can include:
- nervousness or restlessness
- sense of looming danger or doom
- increasing blood pressure
- quickening breathing
- trembling
- sweating
- feeling weakened or tired
- difficulty concentrating
- insomnia
- gastrointestinal problems
- uncontrollable worry
- avoidance of perceived triggers
At Eunoia Counseling, we provide one-on-one anxiety counseling for:

Adults & Seniors ׀ The needs of each Wheaton client determine the focus of their individual anxiety counseling. With us, you can hit “pause” and reflect on patterns in your life that might be holding you back. This will occur in the presence of a supportive listener who can provide feedback into new thoughts and ideas.

Depression Wheaton (IL)
We all inevitably experience the full range of emotions from sadness to joy. Just as we can know great calm and happiness, many of us also will have times when we confront inner turmoil.
Feeling discouraged or sorrowful will be normal reactions to certain circumstances. If our troubled emotions become increasingly heavy, persistent and even debilitating, however, we may be dealing with depression, a clinically classified mood disorder characterized by consistent thoughts and feelings of emptiness, sadness, doom and hopelessness.
Depression affects different people in different ways. Some individuals might go through a difficult depressive episode once, while others might have recurring intense episodes throughout their lives.
Common symptoms of depression can include:
- frequent sadness and crying
- easily provoked anger and irritability
- increasing loss of interest and pleasure
- poor or uneven sleep patterns
- regular fatigue and loss of energy
- rapid weight loss or gain
- lack of motivation
- frequent agitation or restlessness
- slowed thinking, speech or body movements
- difficulty concentrating
- feelings of self-blame, guilt and worthlessness
- unexplained pains and physical problems
- social withdrawal and greater isolation
- thoughts of death or suicide
