Depression is a condition that is plaguing a lot of people in the UK. It can affect your mental wellbeing and cause you to feel unwell and unhappy. With the right treatment and therapy, you can get rid of depression. You can do this by using hypnotherapy. This blog will look at hypnotherapy and depression, how to get rid of depression and how to use hypnotherapy to get rid of this condition.
Research has proven that hypnotherapy is effective at treating depression. The latest research has proven that depression is linked to a chemical imbalance in the brain and hypnotherapy helps increase the levels of serotonin, dopamine, and other chemicals. There are studies that have proven this, which is where hypnotherapy comes in.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) documents that 264 million people across the globe suffer with depression.
It is a leading cause of disability worldwide, is a major contributor to the “overall global burden of disease”, and can also lead to suicide.
It affects all ages but afflicts more women than men.
It can cripple functionality in many areas of life, rendering null and void the ability to work, socialise and maintain healthy relationships.
What are the signs of depression?
It manifests itself in many ways both physically and emotionally
From an indication prospective, if someone has been experiencing some of the following signs and symptoms most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks, they may be suffering from depression:
• Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” mood
• Feelings of hopelessness, or pessimism
• Irritability
• Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness
• Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities
• Decreased energy or fatigue
• Moving or talking more slowly
• Feeling restless or having trouble sitting still
• Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
• Difficulty sleeping, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping • Appetite and/or weight changes
• Thoughts of death or suicide, or suicide attempts
• Aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems without a clear physical cause and/or that do not ease even with treatment
In its severest form, depression accounts for more than 50% of global suicides and thus represents one of the most serious of health issues.
No two people are affected the same way by depression and there is no “one size-fits-all” for treatment.
Current research suggests that depression is caused by a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors.
But, Hypnosis can offer constructive help.
How can hypnosis help with depression?
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, clinical depression is one of the top three leading causes of disability in people between the ages of 15 and 44, with women and elderly people being particularly vulnerable. In spite of these facts, depression still remains one of the least understood mental disorders and yet one of the most common.
