Depression Therapy
Depression treatment by Dr. Christopher Joaquim can help you mold your life entirely by challenging yourself and fighting against depression to restore the old joy and hope. And in this fight, you will not be alone.
What is Depression Therapy?
Depression is a type of mood disorder in which a person tends to think over and over again about simple issues and affect their own mental health. Sometimes, it starts after adulthood but currently even teenagers are on the radar.
The issue can be personal, professional, related to job, life or anything. Depression is more than what people think like being sad, angry or annoyed from somewhere. But when we come to its actual meaning, these negative thoughts create a deep negative impact on your mental health and slowly your physical health. You start getting isolated, prevent social interaction, and create your own world of hallucinations.
Depression therapy is one such tailor-made session designed by psychologists which strives to attack the direct cause, help you get out of the bubble and make those negative thoughts come out of your mind. With such therapies, you start observing positive things in your life and start valuing it.
As the age gap differs, the signs of depression also changes amongst people:
Children (9-12)
this age group is very young and doesn’t realize any signs of depression themselves. Parents can help their child by considering actions like unwillingness to go school, irritation, pretending to be sick and not eating properly as depression.
Teens (13-19)
signs like frustration, misbehavior with parents, revolutionary acts, moodiness, isolation, sleeping too much are major signs for this age group.
Adults (20 and more)
Intense anger, insomnia, suicidal thoughts, low sex drive, isolation and unintentional weight changes are major signs for depression
