Is it hard to remember the last time you felt truly happy? Do you feel sad and alone or just sick of everything? You may have a mental health condition such as anxiety or depression that is making you feel that way. The City of Cartersville has a plethora of mental health counselors in town who can help.
Cartersville is a small town in Georgia that is home to three separate rivers; the Alabama, Coosa, and Etowah Rivers. The town also has the Altoona Dam that forms the Lake Allatoona where many of the townsfolk like to spend their time off. Getting out on the lake may make you feel better but if you have depression or anxiety you know it won’t last. It is best to get treatment by a Cartersville counselor.
