Depression

Major depressive disorder, commonly referred to as ‘depression’ can severely disrupt your life. Depression can affect your relationships, your working life, your sleeping patterns, your appetite, or lead to abuse of substances to attempt to avoid difficult feelings. Some symptoms can be, constant feelings of sadness, irritability or tension, decreased interest or pleasure in usual activities or hobbies, loss of energy, lack of concentration, restlessness, a change in sleeping patterns, feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness or guilt or thoughts of suicide. Cavendish Psychotherapy London will work with you to pin point the source of the depression, which could stem from childhood experiences, and help you find ways of working through it. Techniques from focussed therapies such as CAT or CBT can be helpful in developing an awareness of the cycle of belief that can maintain depression.
