While these are understandable reactions to upsetting or stressful events and experiences in our lives, it is also quite normal to experience them in our busy day to day lives, often without any obvious reason. When these symptoms persist, they can often be signs of depression.Depression affects one in six of us, with common symptoms that can include: difficulties in concentration, lack of motivation, negative thinking, pessimism, sleep disturbances, irritability, crying, social withdrawal, changes in appetite, loss of sex drive and lack of enthusiasm and enjoyment in life, as well as intrusive suicidal thoughts on occasions.If you are suffering from depression, a quick relief is often difficult to find; your feelings of sadness can continue for weeks and even months. They can also have a bearing on your relationships, as well as your work and your health.In Africa, they use the word 'kufungisisa' when referring to depression, which simply means “thinking too much!”.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2"][et_pb_image _builder_version="3.0.84" src="https://farehamcounsellingcentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/depression.jpg" show_in_lightbox="off" url_new_window="off" use_overlay="off" align="center" always_center_on_mobile="on" force_fullwidth="off" show_bottom_space="on" animation_style="zoom" alt="DEPRESSION COUNSELLING" title_text="DEPRESSION COUNSELLING" /][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built="1" fullwidth="off" specialty="off" _builder_version="3.0.84" background_color="#f5f8fd" prev_background_color="#ffffff" next_background_color="#ffffff"][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text admin_label=" COUNSELLING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR DEPRESSION AND LOW MOOD" _builder_version="3.0.101" background_layout="light"]

“Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say “My tooth is aching” than to say “My heart is broken.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain
