Depression

Beating Depression Once And For All

The word ‘depression’ or ‘feeling depressed’ is often used to refer to feeling ‘blue’ or ‘down’ even though this state may last for only a short period of time. Referring to this short time of feeling down as depression is not accurate and it is important to distinguish between occasional low moods and depression.

What are some Symptoms of Depression?

Typically a person with depression may experience any or all of the following:

1) Loss of appetite
2) Broken sleep or insomnia
3) A constant feeling of dread
4) A lack of motivation
5) Feelings of guilt
6) Low self-esteem and self-confidence
7) A sense of being trapped with no means of escape
8) A sense of shame and failing
9) A pessimistic outlook on life (always expecting the worst to happen)
10) A lack of energy
11) An unhappy expression and negative attitude to any or everything
12) A sense of being a victim or always having bad luck
13) A high level of stress or anxiety

Much modern treatment for many forms of depression and anxiety involve cognitive behavioral therapy.

When this is combined with hypnosis the results can be extremely effective.

When used systematically and over time the levels of success are far greater than by using medication alone.
