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.
