What is 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.

Different Types of Depression treated and their common 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.

So 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.
