Let’s work together to help you combat depression!
Depression is a very common psychological disorder, with 30-40% of Australian adults experiencing symptoms in their lifetime. Depression is a complex health issue with a number of possible contributing factors including:
• Genetics (ie having a family history of depression)
• Life stress (such as divorce, housing and financial stress, troubled
• Interpersonal relationships)
• Having a pessimistic outlook on life.
• Lowered self-esteem
• Grief and loss
• A history of childhood abuse or neglect
• Medical conditions and disabilities
Some symptoms that may indicate depression:
• Feeling “Heavy”
• A loss of interest or “can’t be bothered” mentality
• Fatigue and loss of energy
• A change in appetite, weight or sleep patterns
• Thoughts, plans or actions of self-harm or suicide
• A change in activity levels
• Feelings of guilt and worthlessness
• Difficulty concentrating
• Difficulty making decisions
The good news is that our unique combining of Mindfulness therapy, counselling and hypnotherapy can greatly assist you.
Should I take anti-depressants? That is between you and your doctor or psychiatrist. If you need help overcoming withdrawal from anti-depressants, I can help with that as well. If you are thinking about medication for depression, make sure your doctor takes a balanced, objective perspective on the matter, and doesn't bias a biological perspective over psychological factors. You can show your doctor this article titled The Depressing News About Antidepressants.
When will I start feeling better?
A large number of people begin to feel relief from the symptoms of depression as they start treatment for depression. The act of taking control of your situation (instead of continuing to let it control you) is empowering enough to make a difference on its own. Treatment types and timelines will vary based on the individual.
