Feeling sad is a natural emotion that everyone experiences. However, depression is extreme sadness that just does not pass with time. It distorts everything that you see, think, and feel and makes everything in your life seem gloomy and undesirable.
“Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.” – Carl Jung
HELPING YOU PUT THINGS BACK INTO PERSPECTIVE
As a Clinical Psychologist, I have extensive experience helping individuals struggling with depression to better understand and manage the signs and symptoms of depression, develop effective stress management skills, and make healthy and effective lifestyle changes to promote positive mood and a better quality of life.
Depression does not just affect your brain, it affects your entire body psychologically and physically. There are several research studies linking depression with increased levels of inflammation and pain. In addressing depression, I have found that it is imperative to also address those other co-occurring conditions such as sleep difficulties, anxiety and other mental health or medical conditions.
