Depression counselling

Being sad and having the blues for a few days, is quite normal. However, if your sadness lasts for a long time and you just can’t shake the blues, then you may have depression and it is advisable to seek advice to get to the root of the problem.

Some of the emotions you may experience are:

• Worthlessness
• Thinking that life isn’t worth living
• Always anxious and worried
• Indecisive
• Constantly irritated
• Lack of self esteem
• No motivation
• No enjoyment in the things you used to enjoy

Depression is common in all age groups and even children as young as 8 have been known to go through depression. This should raise a red flag for parents to watch out for their young children and make sure they are not showing any of the following symptoms:

• Changes in sleep patterns
• Changes in eating patterns
• Tiredness
• Loss of energy
• Headaches or tummy aches
• Slower speaking pattern

Should you or your children be experiencing any of the above, please contact our Wellness Hub to arrange an appointment. Tel: 072 265 0287 or Email: info@theoceanwellhub.co.za
