WHY DO WE FEEL DEPRESSED
There are many potential factors that can contribute to feelings of depression. Firstly, there is evidence that depression can be partially hereditary. If one or both of your parents have experienced depression, you may be at a higher risk.
- Firstly, depression can run in families, indicating that genetics may play a role in the development of the condition.
- Secondly, neurotransmitters, which are chemicals in the brain that regulate mood, can become imbalanced. Therefore neurotransmitters can contribute to feelings of depression.
- Thirdly, traumatic or stressful life events, such as the death of a loved one, a breakup, or financial difficulties, can trigger depression.
- Moreover, people with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, or heart disease may be more susceptible to depression. That is because illnesses impact our quality of life and overall well-being.
- Lastly, substance abuse like alcohol and drugs can disrupt brain chemistry and lead to depression.
Depression is a complex condition that can have multiple causes, and not all people who experience it will have the same underlying factors. If you’re feeling depressed, it’s important to seek help. As a cognitive hypnotherapist in central London, I can work with you to identify the root causes and develop a personalized treatment plan.
HOW CAN COGNITIVE HYPNOTHERAPY HELP WITH DEPRESSION?
Hypnosis can be a useful tool in the treatment of depression. It is important to note that it should not be used as a standalone treatment for depression.
During hypnosis, a trained therapist can help you enter a state of deep relaxation and suggest positive changes in thought patterns and behaviors. This is beneficial as negative thought patterns and behaviors usually contribute to the development and maintenance of the condition.
Hypnosis can also help you with depression access and process underlying emotions and experiences that may be contributing to your symptoms.
However, it is important to note that hypnosis should be used in conjunction with other evidence-based treatments for depression, such as therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. It is also important to work with a trained and licensed therapist who has experience in using hypnosis to treat depression.
