Depression

Please contact Airevalley Counselling & Therapy if you would like to discuss counselling for issues to do with depression.

The symptoms of depression can be complex. If you are depressed, you often lose interest in things you used to enjoy. Depression commonly interferes with your work, social life and family life. There are many other symptoms, which can be psychological, physical and social.

If you recognise any of the following symptons you may be suffering from depression so do contact your GP for a diagnosis. Studies have shown that medication along with counselling is a very effective way to treat depression.

Psychological Symptoms

continuous low mood or sadness
feelings of hopelessness and helplessness
low self-esteem
tearfulness
feelings of guilt
feeling irritable and intolerant of others
lack of motivation and little interest in things
difficulty making decisions
lack of enjoyment
suicidal thoughts or thoughts of harming yourself feeling anxious or worried
reduced sex drive

Physical Symptoms

slowed movement or speech
change in appetite or weight (usually decreased, but sometimes increased)
constipation
unexplained aches and pains
lack of energy or lack of interest in sex
changes to the menstrual cycle
disturbed sleep patterns (for example, problems going to sleep or waking in the early hours of the morning)

Social Symptoms

not doing well at work
taking part in fewer social activities and avoiding contact with friends
reduced hobbies and interests
difficulties in home and family life

It can take some time to recognise that you may be depressed. Depression may come on gradually and some people continue to deal with the symptoms without recognising them. It can take a friend or family member to suggest that something is wrong.
