3 Reasons Why Depression Counseling is an Effective Treatment

Dec 01, 2016

If you're reading this, it's probably because you're aware that something about your body feels off and you've begun your search for answers. You notice that you exhibit many of the symptoms of depression listed online, as well as television advertisements for antidepressants. Although a myriad of drugs are available to alleviate the crippling symptoms, they only treat the effects, not the cause. Listed below are some of the reasons why depression counseling may be exactly what you need.

Discover underlying causes of your depression.

Without knowing the cause of your depression, treatment will prove to be a difficult task. Emotions, no matter the severity, have an origin and usually begin with your thoughts. A licensed professional can help you dig deep, uncovering some of the long suppressed negative thoughts that resulted in your feelings of hopelessness and despair. Once you know where those thoughts came from and why you feel they are valid, you will be better equipped to find a solution.

Establish healthy new ways to cope.

No one wants to feel the damaging emotional effects of depression. It disrupts your daily activities and sends you into a downward spiral of harmful negative thinking. Unfortunately, some of the coping mechanisms people use to offset this mood only worsen the matter. Your therapist can suggest healthy coping mechanisms, such as positive self-talk, to combat depressing emotions.

Feel connected to someone who cares.

During a counseling session, you are safe in the hands of a person who has dedicated their lives to the betterment of yours. Your opinions are confidential and you're able to speak freely and without judgment. Simply having another person to talk to makes a huge difference in your process of recovery.

If you're suffering from depression and are looking for counseling, please contact me. Help from someone who genuinely cares about you and your mental health is but a click away.
