treated with Hypnosis and
Hypnotherapy at Openpalm Hypnotherapy in St Neots Cambridgeshire UK
What is Depression ? Symptoms of Depression . . .
Depression is not a single mood or symptom but a
combination of moods and effects upon our behaviour and
body. They vary from the natural state of feeling a little
'blue' to acute symptoms of despair known as 'clinical
depression'.
When anyone feels down which is a normal passing state they
can have a sense of what clinical depression is like and how
it affects a person. Even when feeling a little low we find
ourselves feeling 'out of salts' low in energy and
enthusiasm. We may well find ourselves with no appetite or the
reverse comfort eating and putting on extra weight which in
turn makes us feel bad about our self. We find ourselves experiencing low
self esteem, feeling worthless or guilty. it becomes hard to
concentrate and we often feel tearful and down. Matthew can
offer an answer to depression and the effects depression has
on you using Hypnotherapy - a form of psychotherapy using
Hypnosis and psychotherapy.

Types of Depression and their Symptoms
Hypnotherapy in
the treatment of Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
If you usually become depressed
only during the autumn and winter, it is often considered that
you are suffering from SAD and need a sun box to lift your
depression. Many clients have no need of such light therapy
once they have removed the internal anxiety which produced the
depression or SAD after analytical therapy.
Hypnotherapy in
the treatment of Postnatal depression
Many mothers have ‘the baby blues’
soon after the birth of their baby, but it usually passes after a
few days. Postnatal depression is a more serious problem and can
appear any time between two weeks and two years after the birth.
Can Hypnotherapy
treat Bipolar disorder (manic depression)
Some people have mood swings, when
periods of depression alternate with periods of mania. When manic,
they are in a state of high excitement, and may plan and may try to
execute grandiose schemes and ideas.
At least one person in every six becomes depressed
in the course of their lives. One in 20 is clinically depressed.
Figures suggest that more women become depressed, but men may find
it harder to admit to or talk about.
Bi Polar or Manic Depression can in some cases be
unsuitable for treatment using Hypnotherapy and must be discussed at
length to find the correct form of therapy for this disorder.

What causes Depression - An explanation of the causes of
Depression
Depression is often triggered by something happening within our lives.
It might be a death of a loved one , a relationship break down or
problems. Money worries, accidental injury or a physical illness. These
situations and many more produce
stress which aggravates symptoms
producing anxiety, panic attacks
,
social
anxiety or phobia ( a need to
isolate oneself from the outside world) and generalised anxiety disorder.
