Depression & Anxiety

Many of us will experience a period of depression and/or anxiety at some point in our lives. And these moods will pass, usually over time. But for others, depression and anxiety can become all-consuming and often debilitating.

Depression and anxiety seem to be related. Many people who are suffering from depression, also suffer from anxiety. And the fear of failure plays a big role. Depressive people know the fear of having made big, uncorrectable mistakes in their lives and blame themselves.

Depressive signs and symptoms include:

• Feelings of hopelessness and helplessness
• Loss of interest in friends and activities
• Constant tiredness
• Changes in sleep and attitude
• Inability to control negative thoughts

With anxiety, the mind is filled with all kinds of fears — from being abandoned by a partner to losing of friends, acquaintances and close relatives. A fear of loneliness is generated and a general fear of the future is created.

Anxiety signs and symptoms include:

• Having a sense of danger or panic
• Feeling nervous and powerless
• Sweating and trembling
• Feeling weak and tired
• Having trouble thinking about anything but the current fear

In the course of therapy, you’ll discover how to overcome your fears autonomously, without being dependent on permanent external help. The ultimate goal is to have you recognize your own self-healing powers and find your confidence once again.
