So, what exactly is depression?
Depression (major depressive disorder or clinical depression) is a common but serious mood disorder. It can cause severe symptoms that affect how people feel, think, and handle everyday activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working. Generally, to receive a medical diagnosis of depression, the symptoms must be present for at least two weeks.
Signs and symptoms of depression include:
- Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” mood
- Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism and irritability
- Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness
- Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities
- Decreased energy or fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
- Difficulty sleeping, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping
- Appetite and/or weight changes
- Thoughts of death or suicide, or suicide attempts
How can hypnosis help?
- Hypnotherapy for depression is a short-term, solution-based treatment that takes a natural approach to problem-solving. By entering the physically and mentally relaxed state of hypnosis, people are more easily able to make emotional and behavioral changes. In conjunction with other therapies, hypnotherapy has been shown to be effective treating depression, as well as anxiety and seasonal affective disorder.
What is an Anxiety based disorder?
- Anxiety based disorders occur when normal and expected levels of anxiety become uncontrollable and begin to impinge on our daily lives. If you have an anxiety disorder, you may begin to perceive situations as worse than they truly are. Your level of uneasiness may become so heightened that it impacts your ability to focus, rest, and carry out daily activities at home, school or work. In extreme cases, people with anxiety disorders may avoid leaving the house completely. The Australian Psychological Society states that 16% of Australians are diagnosed with anxiety disorders every year, making them the most common type of mental health issue in Australia.
