What is depression? Depression is the most commonly diagnosed mental health problem, also associated with Anxiety, often both conditons go hand in hand. People often use phrases like “I’m depressed” to describe a temporary low mood, feeling lost, low, having no energy, or how they are feeling about a particular situation in their life. In most cases, these low spirits lift of their own accord after a short period of time. However, if these feelings of unhappiness worsen and begin to interfere with how you live your everyday life, then it is possible that you may be developing major or clinical depression. The word “clinical” simply means that the condition is severe enough to need some form of treatment.  Depression Counselling If you are experiencing depression, you may feel unhappy, or feel low, that everything you do is a struggle, and perhaps not worth the effort. Often people experiencing depression feel hopeless about the future and unable to see any positives in life. You may feel apathetic, feel flat and unable to participate in activities you used to enjoy. At its worst, depression can lead to such feelings of helplessness and lack of self worth that people may give up the will to live, or begin to consider suicide. You may experience sleep problems too. Working with an Online Counselor offers people suffering from depression a more accessable service, no need to travel or leave your home. It is safe and secure and completely confidential, you can even remain anonymous if you prefer.
Dear online counselor, I have been depressed since the breakup of my relationship with my boyfriend. My life feels empty and worthless, i don't think i want my BF back but i can't seem to find a new life without him. I feel that I need someone around me and need to be in a relationship. Can i book a session with you to get some practical advice on how to start again? Online counselling would be great as I have a busy work schedule and the convenience of online counselling would be very useful. Diane.

What causes depression? .jpg) Depression Counselling
There is no one cause of depression. It varies from person to person. Broadly speaking there are three main triggers for developing depression. Social factors such as losing your job, isolation, divorce, or bereavement can trigger depression in some people. For other people, the trigger may be psychological factors such as chronic anxiety, relationship problems, low self esteem, childhood rejection or family background. A third trigger for depression may be physical factors such as infectious diseases like influenza or glandular fever; having a long-term physical health problem like multiple sclerosis; or as a side-effect of medical treatments like chemotherapy. It is also thought that some people may have a genetic predisposition towards depression.
