What Is Depression?
Depressive disorders are described by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as states of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect our thinking, behaviour, feelings, and self-esteem. If you or someone you know has been suffering from depression for a while, you are probably searching hard for answers.
What Are The Symptoms Of Depression
Depression can affect anyone, regardless of age, race, wealth, or status. People who may seem everything to live for can suffer from depression just as much as those who have lost.
If you have any of the following symptoms, you may be depressed:
- Feeling hopeless and helpless
- Loss of interest in life, friends, activities and things you used to enjoy
- Sleep and appetite fluctuation
- Feeling tired/exhausted all the time
- Inability to concentrate
- Lack of control over negative thoughts
- Increased irritability or aggression
- Increased alcohol consumption/substance abuse
- Increase in reckless behaviour
- Lethargy
- Intense feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or harshly criticising oneself
Why Look For Help With Depression?
Depressive feelings are directly related to your self-esteem and are often the result of the misguided belief that you’re not good enough. Depression is often the body’s way of protecting you from further emotional pain. It can also repress anger and the subconscious mind’s way of reminding you that there are unresolved emotional issues that need to be addressed. You should see your physician if you think you are depressed. With the proper diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing support, most sufferers can expect to recover. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can help in this recovery and has shown promising results when combined with hypnotherapy.
How Hypnotherapy Treatment For Depression Can Help
Through hypnosis, we work together to understand the belief structures underlying your depression and dismantle those beliefs at a subconscious level so you can move forward with your life in a positive, healthy way. An important and challenging symptom of depression is the belief that it is permanent or incurable, bringing with it a sense of hopelessness and despair.
I have worked with a great number of people who have, in fact, gone on to lead happy and fulfilled lives despite believing they would never achieve such a goal when they began the hypnotherapy treatment for depression. You can also make positive changes in the way you think through my depression treatment in Johannesburg.
