What is Major and Minor Depression Counselling?
Everyone feels down every once and awhile. But sometimes it feels different. The low is lower than normal. Things just do not give you the same enjoyment as they used to. Even though you know you should get up, getting moving, and get back to your regular routine, you are not able to. Something seems to be holding you back, a dark cloud that is taking over your life. You might even sense that life isn’t worth living anymore, that you just want this bad feeling to stop. Depending on how long this has been going on for, you might be struggling with Major or Minor Depression. That is where depression counselling comes in.
Depression is one of the most common mental condition that people struggle with. Each year around one in 15 people experience major depression, and nearly 20% of people go through it at some point in their lives. When you are struggling with this condition, it might feel like there is no hope – that life will never stop being this way. Sometimes, a new supportive relationship can change everything. That is where counselling comes in.
How Can Counselling Help with Depression?
At its heart, counselling is about connection. It is about creating a space where the counselling participant can feel safe and secure enough to be vulnerable about their feelings. Often just admitting you are not feeling “okay” is a huge step on the road to healing. When we can share our fears with another person, we can begin to chart a path forward, towards hope and healing. Through counselling, the counsellor and counselling participant can integrate the latest psychological research into practical steps that they participant can take to reduce or cure their symptoms of depression. As always, Evergreen Counselling Group recommends counselling in concert with your family doctor – with both a counsellor and physician on your team, you are more likely to get positive results!
