Hypnotherapy is Relevant as a Depression Treatment
Depression is not a simple problem with a single cause and a single treatment.Yapko, M.
Depression is a serious condition that negatively affects the way you think, feel, and act. It causes sadness and a loss of interest in activities once you enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease a person’s ability to function normally. When we suffer from depression, we tend to dwell on past events and to worry excessively about the future.
Instead of making the most of the present moment, we withdraw from the world and become self-absorbed.
When people are depressed, almost everything is overwhelming. Simple tasks seem difficult, difficult tasks seem impossible, and the energy to deal with anything-easy or hard is missing. Depression symptoms may range from mild (feeling low most of the time) to severe (the future appears so bleak that nothing matters anymore).
Depression can make you feel hopeless, worthless, and guilty; it can affect your sleep and appetite; it can decrease your ability to concentrate and to take decisions.
Depression is different from sadness and grief. The grieving process is natural and a person’s self-esteem is usually maintained, while in depression the feelings of worthlessness are predominant. Recognizing that you are depressed is your first step in accepting that you need help. Hypnotherapy can effectively help to treat depression in many ways.
Hypnotherapy is relevant as a depression treatment, helping to build a positive expectation regarding treatment, addressing numerous depressive symptoms and modifying patterns of self-organization that contribute to depressed thinking and mood
