Depression

Depression is anger turned inwards, this is why most depressed people seem to go through extraordinary measures to sabotage themselves. Mostly by choosing to do nothing to help themselves and improve their lives. At it's worst depression is a catalyst for people to become motivated to harm themselves, either through infliction of self injury or suicide.

Treatment for depression involves clients going through the process of recognizing their feelings, they have otherwise ignored for a lengthy period of time and most importantly teaching clients not to become reactive to their feelings but rather develop an understanding of the beliefs they hold which influences their feelings. The understanding of beliefs becomes the primary focus of the therapeutic session as clients learn to tell the difference between their truths and lies, regarding the beliefs they hold about themselves and their relationships to others.

Symptoms of depression include:

Hopelessness

Becoming easily irritated

Loss of interest and enjoyments in activities you previously enjoyed.

Poor sleep or too much sleeping.

Dramatic change in appetite, this means that you can either be overeating or eating too little.

Slowed thought process, this includes speech and movement.

Being constantly indecisive.

Constantly feeling tired with poor or no motivation to even complete the most basic of tasks.

Constant feelings of worthlessness and guilt

Crying spells

Obsessions with self harm, such as cutting and picking of the self.

Obsessive thoughts of death, dying and suicide.

If you have experienced five or more of these symptoms during the past thirty days, you probably struggle with depression.

Please understand that if you have come to believe that you may attempt suicide, please call 911 or your local emergency number immediately. Also please call 911 or your local emergency number if you know someone you have come to believe is seriously considering of harming his or herself.
