Major depression and depressive episodes are frequently related to unresolved trauma, significant loss and complex grief, as well as difficulties with expressing anger, dealing with prolonged frustration, chronic pain or anxiety in an effective way. Therapy explore underlying experiences of a sense of failure and rejection. Unless an organic cause can be identified, both therapists deal with depression and anxiety as a negative psychological state that can be improved utilising cognitive behavioral and self explorative strategies

It was predicted that by 2020, depression would be the world's second most serious illness. It reached that goal earlier. 'Depression' is a greatly misunderstood and misused term. We often misdiagnose what I call JU as depression. JU being Justifiable Unhappiness. We're not actually meant to be happy all the time. We end a relationship, lose a job, an adult child leaves home.... we are meant to feel a bit sad and unhappy. I work with people in all stages of unhappiness and depression to help them to reclaim their joy. And no. I am NOT, absolutely NOT anti-medication. Some medication can be life saving. Much of it is over-prescribed in the name of 'evidence-based medicine' when the people prescribing it, have no evidence other than that provided by the vested interests of the reps from the drug companies.

Depression is particularly responsive to counselling treatment.Depression is caused by mood-regulating neurotransmitters not functioning properly. There are a number of factors that may play a role in causing or triggering depression such as genetic predisposition, your personality type, ageing, stress and other depression triggers and factors.

What a person means by 'depression', and what underlies whatever that experience is, is hugely individual and personal. While the challenge and way forward will be different for each individual, I tend to find that what we call depression is more often than not our internal compass - or to be more poetic, our soul - trying to get our attention to alert us that something is wrong and a changeof course is needed. For that reason, I believe the pain and suffering involved in depression can play a meaningful role and carry with them the seeds of a deeper, richer and more satisfying life, if we are willing to attend to them.
