DEPRESSION tReatment
Depression is a mood disorder that creates physical, emotional and spiritual pain in individuals and families. Depression frequently is present for a good amount of time before people come to treatment for depression symptoms. It is a treatable condition and I have had many clients come and find help and relief from various types of depression symptoms.
Depression and mood disorders create
New patterns of thinking
decreases in cognitive processing are frequent
increased anxiety and paranoia may be present
Pain or hardship with relationships, work, or basic self care.
Increased times of change or stress events.
Crisis Events create many different forms and appearances of depression
There is no form of depression that is right or wrong.
Depression is difficult to understand because, it’s sometimes what you know and believe about your depression that creates pain
Depression is often unique to you and may be the body’s way of coping with an event or stress
Depression takes the vibrancy and joy out of normal day to day living for sure.
I work with people who are experiencing all different types and patterns of depression and mood disorders. When stress activates, emotions overwhelm and life is hard. Depression can have a profound effect.
I will help support your discovery of patterns that are driving depression and work with you to change these patterns. I know that you have attempted to change by yourself the patterns that form your depression, but my experience and wealth of knowledge is really helpful in this area. Depression is not a one person type disease to heal as it is unique to each individual. A group of qualified compassionate relationships is such a blessing when you are fighting depression. I know my abilities to connect with your concerns will provide a new choice to change.
My evaluation will support you in every way that I am able and I am able provide my professional time and expertise regarding your mood disorder within the next 24-48 hours. Your time and well being are important, and because I value life, your well being is that important to me. Some would say, “you don’t know me!?!”, but I choose to take the time I have to get to know you and to value all lives even if I have not met you in person.
Regular treatment of depression through talk therapy is proven to be helpful to those who experience such depression pain. Going to sessions on a regular basis helps you and I evaluate how you are coping or functioning to create new balance and norms. Good prevention care also keeps one from falling back to old habits/patterns and creates consistent moments where my expert care can see signs that depression could be getting worse or is reducing.
Suicidal depression is not something to ignore. Consistent bi-weekly or weekly visits for those who are stressed with thoughts of leaving this world by suicide are an option at times but most likely are something that needs hospital care. Should such thoughts overwhelm a person it is good to consider higher levels of care by calling 911 or going to your local Emergency Room. I will assist you in maintaining stable function and defense against such life threatening circumstances, evaluate any changes in patterns, and support your choices if you need to create a safe place for yourself.
Playing a joke and saying you are thinking about ending your life is a symptom and cause for concern because all thoughts have the ability to lead to irreparable action. I am here to hear the pain behind such thoughts and direct you in the process so more pain and suffering can be prevented. I have talked with many loved ones who long to have their relationship back with someone who has died. Please refrain from choosing this path and tell someone you trust about your thoughts.
Call me or schedule an evaluation through the online calendar and see what you can do to be kind to yourself. You are worth it. I have never heard a depressed person indicate to me no matter the length of treatment that they regretted working with me on meaningful ways of coping. The smiles I see when depression starts to lift are such a blessing and I believe that you are worth my care and concern, and you mean a lot to me since you took the time to read these words.
Don’t second guess yourself and pass by an opportunity to live a different life. Call me at 972-716-3841.
