Hypnosis for Depression

Depression is the UK's most common mental/psychological health problem. It is thought that as many as one in five people will be affected by depression in their lifetime. We all feel sad, low, down-in-the-dumps from time to time usually as a reaction to upsetting or difficult events and experiences in our lives but these feelings generally pass after a time. When these feelings do not pass or if they are so intense that they interfere with your everyday life then you can be considered as suffering from depression.

Medical opinion on depression often attributes it to a chemical imbalance in the brain which is entirely possible but a chemical imbalance is also a symptom and is therefore, in itself, not the cause of depression - contemporary research is showing that the chemical imbalance is, in most cases, being caused by an underlying emotional conflict.

Based on the above, a significant number of people with depression are prescribed anti-depressants (in an attempt to "correct" the chemical imbalance and so control your symptoms) which can sometimes work well to alleviate severe depression in the short term and give you time to assess your options but for mild to moderate depression and for long-term changes it has been shown that other therapies, particularly 'talking therapies', are more beneficial.
