depression / low mood

what is depression?

Depression is more than just sadness or low energy; it’s a persistent condition that impacts mood, motivation, and well-being. Symptoms include prolonged sadness, feelings of hopelessness, difficulty concentrating, changes in sleep and appetite, and a loss of interest in daily activities.

causes of depression

Depression can arise from a mix of factors, such as:

  • Genetics and Biology: Family history and chemical imbalances may play a role.
  • Life Events and Trauma: Stress, trauma, or loss can trigger depressive symptoms.
  • Environmental and Lifestyle Factors: Chronic stress, isolation, and lack of support are contributing factors.

Effective treatments for depression

Proven therapies for treating depression include:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Identifies and challenges negative thought patterns.
  • Spiritual Counselling: Combines various therapeutic approaches tailored to your needs.
  • Personal Counselling: Addresses underlying beliefs, promotes relaxation, and helps shift negative thinking.
