Depression

Everybody can feel down from time to time, but if you are experiencing persistently low mood, lack of interest and ability to enjoy your normal pleasures in life you may be suffering with depression.

Symptoms are not the same for everyone and can include difficulty sleeping or sleeping excessively, weight loss or weight gain, negative thoughts about the past, present or future, reduced ability to concentrate, tiredness and low motivation to do anything, social isolation and reduced self-esteem to name but a few.

Your symptoms may range from mild to moderate to severe. Depression can negatively affect how you think, feel and act in some or all areas of your life depending on the severity. As with symptoms, triggers for depression vary and you may or may not be aware of what’s causing your depression.

You may or may not want to work out the exact cause. Lorna can provide you with a safe space where you can feel heard, understood and supported in working out what is going to help you improve your quality of life.
