Depression
Depression can effect anybody young or old, men and women from all walks of life, Depression is increasing in all age groups, but particularly in the younger teenage group. Women tend to experience depression twice as frequently than men, and depression is estimated to be around 40% more common amongst children, that have grown up with a parent that is depressed and is often shown to be passed down through families.
Mildly and severely depressed clients find themselves in situations that are enormously painful and who need help to find a way out. It can effect you physically, causing problems such as eating, sleep disturbance, a lowered sex drive, a decrease of pleasure or interest, fatigue and anxiety. Depression can effect your ability to think clearly, making it difficult to concentrate, including poor memory, which can include errors in judgement and decision making.There have been many misconceived ideas about depressed people, that they are weak, or just feel sorry for themselves. They are told to 'snap out of it' or 'there are other people worse off than you'. This is certainly not an answer and often makes the person feel guilty or worse about their condition.
Treatments for Depression
Depression has many causes, and as a result has many viable avenues of treatment. Treatment such as cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and hypnosis are highly effective methods of treating depression and can work successfully as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with prescribed medication from your doctor. During the intial consultation, I will spend time with you addressing the underlying issues and working together we can formulate an effective plan of treatment to help you restore balance to your life.
