Therapy For Depression And Low Mood In Manchester, Cheshire or Online

Are you feeling low?

Is your mood affecting your quality of life?

Everyone has periods of being down or feeling low, but when those feelings persist you may be depressed. Experiencing Depression and Low Mood is far more common than most people think.

Recognising the signs of depression and talking to a therapist is the first step to working through and getting past the fog and despair, Therapy for Depression and Low Mood will help you to do this.

Am I Depressed?

It can feel difficult sometimes to distinguish experiencing depression from the normal highs and lows of life.

However, the more you identify with the list below and the stronger the feelings, the higher the likelihood is that you are suffering from depression rather than a more fleeting sense of ‘feeling low’.

Do you experience one or more of the following:

  • Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions.

  • Fatigue and decreased energy

  • Feelings of guilt, worthlessness and / or helplessness

  • Feelings of hopelessness and / or pessimism

  • Insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping

  • Irritability, restlessness

  • Loss of interest in activities or hobbies once pleasurable, including sex

  • Overeating or appetite loss

  • Persistent aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that do not ease even with treatment.

  • Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” feelings

  • Thoughts of suicide, suicide attempts

It’s important to remember that this is not an exhaustive list, and depression affects everyone differently.

Depression as a vicious cycle

Depression affects people physically, emotionally, and cognitively.

All three of these are linked, and therefore it can be hard to separate one from the other, and they fuel each other in an exhausting circle that can cause you to feel more trapped and hopeless.

For example, if you are feeling low in mood, sad, a sense of hopelessness, you may not want to get out of bed or to move much . . . this then causes a sense of lethargy, heaviness, and slow movement.

These physical symptoms can cause feelings of low mood, sadness and tiredness and therefore you feel you can’t get out of bed, go outside, etc. and so the cycle continues. . .. viciously.

Does something cause my depression and low mood?

As with the above vicious circle, there is no one cause for depression. However, some or all of these things can cause a vulnerability to depression:

  • Not having a support network, feeling isolated

  • Relationship problems

  • Financial problems

  • Health problems

  • History of depression in your family

  • Abuse of alcohol and or drugs or another addiction

  • Difficulties from the past that can also include trauma and / or abuse

  • A sudden shift in your hormones such as following giving birth, menopause, or a drop in testosterone.

  • You can see from this list that the factors that can cause or contribute to depression are physical, emotional, and situational however all sorts of combining factors can add to these feelings.

  • Why these Panic Attack or Anxiety control behaviours don’t work

Although it may feel alleviated temporarily the anxiety has been avoided rather than dealt with and because you avoid the thing that makes you anxious, you do not learn that the feared thing does not happen, or if it does, it is not as bad as imagined.
