Couples Counselling in Australia improves communication and helps couples understand mental health struggles. With the emotional support partners can navigate depression together.
The Mental Health Profession and Australian Professional Counselling Services categorise depression as a mood disorder. In couples counseling I have seen many couples and individuals, and I recognize that its symptoms can vary widely.
It is also accurate to think of depression as a complex problem. A challenge that can affect many different aspects of the sufferer’s life.
Depression Counselling
I know this because I have been there long ago by changing my life and how I think. The situation can and will affect the body. Depression can introduce such physical symptoms as insomnia, fatigue, appetite disturbances, diminished libido and anxiety.
Furthermore, it can affect your mind and interferes with the ability to live a normal healthy life and relationships. Depression can affect emotions causing feelings of sadness, despair, guilt, worthlessness and apathy.
Therefore, depression feels like you’re in a hole and can’t get out. Even if you do slip back into it or sit on the edge for years. It’s not something you can snap out of, as some people may tell you to do. Medication can work in some cases.
Though it’s only a temporary fix. Couples counseling can help your partner to understand you more.
Depression is helped by Couples Counselling
If you get down and tend to stay down, get help immediately. Go to your doctor or come to me. The difficult part of depression is that you stop trying, stop caring, and withdraw from life.
This can make you feel even worse. The impact on you, family, and partner can be devastating. I know if you come to me and do couples counselling, I can help.
If you’re in a relationship or marriage together your partner can help you and support, you. This can be achieved by several positive actions. To be able to get out of the hole of depression you can start by changing your diet to a healthier one. Cut down on alcohol, caffeine, fatty foods, and smoking.
Start exercising or go to a gym. Swimming is great for calming depression.
It all helps greatly as it did with me.
