Depression Awareness
In the midst of all of these changes to our culture and social distancing I just wanted to take a moment and remind us of some Symptoms of Depression…
Well known symptoms include…
Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
Feeling sad and depressed on a regular basis
Trouble concentrating
Change in eating habits
Talks of suicide
Loss of interest and social withdrawal
Lack of energy and persistent tiredness
Feelings of guilt and regret
Changes in their appearance and behaviors
Increased use of drugs and alcohol
Easily agitated and always irritable
They seem out of touch of what is going on around them
Their physical health starts to go down hill
And if you are in a category of hyper-anxiety about having all symptoms on this list all at once - this button will redirect you to directly reaching out to me where I am available to discuss this further with you and find a focus on ways to counteract the current trend you are experiencing. Call me!
In the midst of so much change in culture and direction, I am talking more and more with clients who are coming out of the initial shock of the effects of Coronavirus and COVID19. They are all attempting to understand, work through and find some redeeming qualities, but also I want to be attentive to the process of being aware of depression. It’s tendencies can creep into the new patterns of our lives. It’s silent presence has the potential to be overlooked in this hypersensitive time to physical health and being virus free. We also may not recognize in coping with going through the side effects and symptoms of physical health problems or loved ones concerns about their health that we have been affected by the stress and burdens involbed. With all of us being concerned about such things as a global community, we could be ending up in a more depressed state.
Not to worry, however. And even if you didn’t score high on the list above, I am willing to be a trusted and supportive source during this time. Please reach out and find out more about how I can do so.
