DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY COUNSELLING

Statistics show that everyone experiences depression and/or anxiety at some point in their lives. They are different conditions but they often occur together.

Depression may be triggered by loss of a loved one, relationship problems, financial issues, stress at work or home and various other life events. A family history of depression may also be a factor. For a person experiencing the crushing weight of this illness, daily stressors become difficult to cope with. It is not always easy to share with others. And when experienced over a prolonged period, may result in “compassion fatigue” in even the most well meaning friend. They may feel alone and hopeless.

And while we all live and experience anxiety to a degree, persistent and severe anxiety can lead to disorders which can have serious impact on daily life, relationships and career. People with anxiety disorder will avoid certain situations, places and even hold themselves back from experiences – allowing the worry to dominate their lives and blot out possibilities.
