Depression
Depression is the leading cause of disability in the world, but because it’s a mental illness, it can be a lot harder to understand. One major source of confusion is the difference between having depression and just feeling depressed.
Almost everyone feels down from time to time. Getting a bad grade, losing a job, having an argument, or even a rainy day (as we have in London all the time) can bring on feelings of sadness. Sometimes there’s no trigger at all; it just pops up out of the blue.
Depression can have a lot of different symptoms:
​
- A low mood
​
- Loss of interest in things that you would normally enjoy
​
- Changes in appetite
​
- Feeling worthless or excessively guilty
- Sleeping either too much or too little
​
- Poor concentration
​
- Restlessness or slowness
​
- Loss of energy
​
- Recurrent thoughts of suicide
My services can help you out in this matter as well as in other areas that you would be struggling with.
