Depression and Stress

    If you just can't be bothered to do some things that you used to enjoy, chances are that you are depressed. Not very depressed , perhaps, just depressed. Depression covers a wide spectrum of mood and associated behaviour.

It can range greatly from just not being bothered to watch your favourite TV show to not being bothered to get out of bed for three days, not even to the toilet or eat or brush your teeth. In the second case, the depression is so severe that the person is no longer concerned in looking after themselves.

Depression is a natural state to be in at some point in our lives. About one in four people will suffer a depressive episode at some point. It is no great respecter of status, wealth, age or gender. It is possible to soldier on and do your daily activities like that very depressed gentleman  - Winston Churchill -British Prime Minister. Many famous people suffer depressive episodes - you don't have to be famous or depressed.

These days it is much less embarrassing for people to say I'm depressed, I can't cope, I need help.

Depression and stress seem to go hand in hand for a lot of people as does having a change of sleep pattern.

Finding new solutions to problems, learning self-hypnosis to increase your serotonin level naturally, and generally feeling supported throughout the whole process can make a huge difference to how you deal with it. So whether you are running a country, a business or a family unit or just yourself get some practical and effective support.
