Depression
Counselling. You feel anxious and worry about everything and wonder why you can’t relax. There’s a feeling of dread and wondering when the other shoe will drop. You feel like there is something wrong with you. Your mind won’t turn off to let you get a decent night’s sleep. Now you’re overtired and sensitive, causing you to snap at someone or suddenly burst into tears. You feel guilty about your outburst, and worry about being rejected from your family and friends. Its hard to maintain relationships when you feel out of sorts and exhausted. If you're tired of feeling this way, you've come to the right place.

Depression Counsellors
Depressive disorders are characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and worthlessness and a lack of desire to engage in formerly pleasurable activities. Depression is not a passing blue mood, which almost everyone experiences from time to time, but a complex mind/body illness that interferes with everyday functioning. It not only darkens one's outlook, it is commonly marked by sleep problems and changes in energy levels and appetite. It alters the structure and function of nerve cells so that it disrupts the way the brain processes information and interprets experience.
Despite feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness, depression is a treatable condition. It can be treated with psychotherapy by depression counsellors in Edmonton. As with many illnesses, the earlier treatment begins, the more effective it can be and the greater the likelihood that recurrence can be prevented.
Psychotherapy addresses the thinking patterns that precipitate depression, and studies show that it prevents recurrence. Drug therapy is often helpful in relieving symptoms, such as severe anxiety, so that people can engage in meaningful psychotherapy.
