Why People Turn To Depression Counselling

By David Carter


Depression is a very common illness, which can become crippling when the condition is more serious. Sometimes there is no reason why this develops and psychologist can't explain why this happens. In other cases, there are a number of reasons why this happens and one needs to look into depression counselling which will help the individual deal with the issue at hand.

People struggle with all sorts of things in this day and age. It can be something minor such as stress in the work place which keeps on building up. However, it can become more serious for people who have suffered a loss or for someone who has lost their job. The trauma which goes back to childhood also plays a part on the illness.

Someone who is constantly depressed will have trouble sleeping. They will either sleep too much or they may not able to able to sleep enough at night. It can be difficult to get going in the morning. Sadness creeps in during the day. Because of these feelings, they will become frustrated with themselves as well as with others. They tend to withdraw and become isolated.

Creativity is also a form of encouragement because this is a way of expressing yourself in a non-verbal way. It is especially effective for those people who have experienced trauma in their lives. They may be frustrated or angry. This leads to the depression and this is a great of just getting it off your chest. It gives you a great sense of freedom at the same time. This type of creativity can include listening to music, drawing, painting or anything involving working with the hands.

One also needs to work with the underlying issue which may be causing the depression, otherwise you will be back to square one. This could be something like alcoholism, trauma or a problem in your marriage. However, there are times when people become depressed for no reason. This can be due to a chemical imbalance.

Sometimes folk will need to be referred to a psychiatrist where they will benefit from medication. Of course, this needs to be monitored to make sure that they are coping. The patient also needs to keep on with the psychotherapy because dealing with the issue in this way can be very helpful. Medication will simply help you through the day.

The creative process is also a great way of healing your inner trauma. It is particularly helpful for someone who has a lot of anger that they are bottling up. When this has been festering inside, a person will become depressed, and they need to deal with it by expressing themselves in a verbal or non-verbal way. Both of these methods can be helpful.

Families and friends should encourage their loved ones to invest in the process of therapy. They may not realize that there is something wrong. Sometimes they may simply think that they are sad, and are lacking sleep. However, it is important to take note of the signs and symptoms, especially when this is ongoing. Support and encouragement is vital at this time.
