What is Depression ?
Depression is not a single mood or symptom but a
combination
of moods and effects upon our behaviour and
body. They vary from the natural state of feeling a little
'blue' to acute symptoms of despair known as 'clinical
depression'.
When anyone feels down which is a normal passing state they
can have a sense of what clinical depression is like and how
it affects a person. Even when feeling a little low we find
ourselves feeling 'out of salts' low in energy and
enthusiasm. We may well find ourselves with no appetite or the
reverse comfort eating. We find ourselves experiencing low
self esteem, feeling worthless or guilty. it becomes hard to
concentrate and we often feel tearful and down.
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
If you usually become depressed
only during the autumn and winter, it is often considered that
you are suffering from SAD and need a sun box to lift your
depression. Many clients have no need of such light therapy
once they have removed the internal anxiety which produced the
depression or SAD after analytical therapy.
Postnatal depression
Many mothers have ‘the baby blues’
soon after the birth of their baby, but it usually passes after a
few days. Postnatal depression is a more serious problem and can
appear any time between two weeks and two years after the birth.
Bipolar disorder (manic depression)
Some people have mood swings, when
periods of depression alternate with periods of mania. When manic,
they are in a state of high excitement, and may plan and may try to
execute grandiose schemes and ideas.
At least one person in every six becomes depressed
in the course of their lives. One in 20 is clinically depressed.
Figures suggest that more women become depressed, but men may find
it harder to admit to or talk about.

What causes Depression
?
Depression is often triggered by something happening within our lives.
It might be a death of a loved one , a relationship break down or
problems. Money worries, accidental injury or a physical illness. These
situations and many more produce stress which aggravates symptoms
producing anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety or phobia ( a need to
isolate oneself from the outside world) and generalized anxiety disorder.
