​Depression Treatment and Therapy

Depression is widespread, and its nature is misunderstood. So often, it is seen by many as untreatable, simply fate, genetics, whatever.

We have successfully treated many people for depression-related issues.
We work with people who have had long-standing depression issues and those who might be having a current depressive episode. We see people who have had various depression treatments that have not been successful in the past, including those with medication.

Depression engulfs your daily, interfering with your ability to work or even hold down a job, study, eat, sleep and derive enjoyment from life.

​​If you feel you are depressed or are uncertain, please speak to us further.
Some common signs of depression are:
  • Lack of pleasure in events previously pleasurable
  • Lack of sleep or sleeping too much
  • Not eating or eating too much
  • Social withdrawal
  • Poor concentration
  • Feeling helpless or hopeless
  • Having negative thoughts
  • Feelings of anger and or irritability
  • Loss of energy
  • Feelings of self-loathing

  • We keep thinking we have solved this issue, but it keeps happening
  • I don't think people are really telling me what they think about him or her?
  • Love him/her but hate their family
