DEPRESSION
Depression is classified as a mood disorder. It may be described as feelings of sadness, loss, or anger that interfere with a person’s everyday activities.
Anxiety Disorders affect around 14% of the Australian adult population every year while Depression affects around 6%.
​
It is important to realise that feeling down at times is a normal part of life. Sad and upsetting events happen to everyone, but if you are feeling down or hopeless on a regular basis, you could be dealing with depression. If this sounds familiar to you, you owe it to yourself, your family and friends to become a better you. You should never give up hope even if you have tried hypnosis for depression in the past.
​
Symptoms of depression differ somewhat depending on the different types of depression being experienced, but there are a few general symptoms that appear in most types of depression.
These can include:
​
• Loss of interest in activities that were previously enjoyed
• Desire to avoid social occasions
• Feelings of guilt or worthlessness (often with no apparent logical basis)
• Changes in appetite (either overeating or loss of interest in food)
• Excessive tiredness
• Changes in the speed of movement, to the point where it’s noticeable to others
• Changes in sleeping patterns (either a reduced need for sleep or sleeping excessively)
• Suicidal thoughts.
These symptoms are also characteristic of many other conditions, which, I believe, can lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary prescription of anti depressant medication.
