Depression
Ardross Psychology Practice
Psychologist, Registered Clinical Psychologists - Dr Peter Gibbons and Adri Hunt
Major depression and depressive episodes are frequently related to unresolved trauma, significant loss and complex grief, as well as difficulties with expressing anger, and dealing with prolonged frustration, chronic pain or anxiety in an effective way. Therapy explores underlying experiences of a sense of failure and rejection and insignificance. 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

Depression
Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
Depression has a deceptive timelessness where it can feel like things have always been this dark and will always be this dark. But that's not true. Nothing in nature remains static. Things are always changing. One season replaces another. It's important to remember this and to know, even in the darkest moments, that something different is possible.

Depression
Thomas Reiner Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Diploma of Counselling (AIPC)
Depression is a big word with lots of possible meanings depending on the individual client. Initially, we will explore what depression means for the client and how it impacts their life. We will try to distinguish between depression as something that is uncomfortable but tolerable, and depression that infers with our day-to-day life to a level at which it needs to be managed proactively.

First off, let's be real. Depression sucks. We're talking feelings of helplessness, despondency and dejection. When you're really depressed, you just cant get up and get moving. There can be:
• Anxiety
• Agitation
• A genuine feeling of unease
• A sense of displacement
• Feelings of physical discomfort - as in, not comfortable in one’s own body.
On a mental level, the thoughts can be negative, cloudy - even scattered. To friends and family, it might seem that the depressed person is not even trying to help themselves. In reality though, most people suffering with depression focus on what is not right, rather than what is.
This tendency to dwell on the problem, like cows in a paddock chewing their cud, is one of the biggest downfalls for anyone who is feeling blue. People like to tell themselves that if they understood the problem (whatever that happens to be), they would be able to solve it, feel better, or get things sorted.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. In fact, when you spend your time going over and over the problem, all that you do is build the problem, giving it more energy and life and as a result making yourself feel ever more overwhelmed by it.
In this state, trying to ‘fix’ the source of depression is often too steep a mountain to climb, but a combination of changes will most likely do the trick. Of course, this is a process, which means it will take a little time and effort, but it is do-able.
When you believe that you can't, you will get overwhelmed, feel depressed, and basically give up, sinking deeper into the depression. If, however. there is a plan, a strategic, step by step process you can follow, one in which there are small but measurable changes experienced, things begin to shift.
It may seem almost impossible to escape the fog of depression and have the clarity to make a plan. This is where therapy may help.
