Depression affects many adults in the UK, and worldwide. People diagnosed with low mood or depression may experience symptoms such as persistent crying, negative thoughts or changes in appetite, plus more. It can either be experienced as a temporary mental health condition or it can continue as a negative cycle. But as our counsellors in Hendon and Canary Wharf can attest to, depression can be cured. In this blog, we explore some of the ways this can take place.
Sleep is very important for regulating our emotions. Our bodies heal when we sleep, but our minds get some much-needed rest from overthinking too. It’s important to achieve a routine of consistent, high-quality sleep that includes R.E.M so you are fully resting and resetting your brain for the next day. Studies have shown that poor sleep correlates to the brain feeling unable to let go of the negative experiences, thoughts and feelings from the previous day. For better control of your emotional state, start with using sleeping aids such as pillow spray, sufficient exercise and a reduction of screen time so you can achieve a greater feeling of relaxation. This will help you sleep and prime you to better able manage any symptoms of depression you may experience.
A support network is helpful for treating depression because depression can lead to feelings of worthlessness and the emotional support of friends, family or our counsellors in Hendon and Canary Wharf can counteract feelings of low self-worth. By becoming open in conversation with others about your thoughts, feeling and experiences, you also allow for repressed feelings to come to the surface in the presence of people who care about the way you feel. Our counsellors in Hendon and Canary Wharf are compassionate and experienced therapists who build a professional relationship with their clients, characterised by empathy.
It can be difficult to feel motivated to take good care of yourself if you struggle with depression, but with the support of proven therapies and compassionate counsellors in Hendon and Canary Wharf clinics, you can overcome its symptoms.
