When you are feeling low, easily reduced to tears and can't control your emotions, then you have all the hallmarks of clinical depression.

Putting on weight is often something that happens when you’re feeling low because you seek comfort in eating. Sometimes people lose their appetite, and lose weight, but then everyone is a bit different.

Your emotions get out of control, and you feel down. It is also quite common to feel that you just can’t be bothered to do anything, and probably don't feel like making the effort to be sociable so you tend to withdraw.

Someone who is depressed is also likely to feel that they are to blame and are self-critical, or that they are a bad person - when of course they are not.

The main thing is that this situation can be helped, quite simply Hypnotherapy is one of the most effective ways of treating depression.

People are sometimes ashamed of admitting that they are depressed or feeling low or feeling down, in case it is interpreted as a weakness, or they will just be told 'pull themselves together'. I could just be that all you need is specialist help, and that help is right here in the form of a professional, confidential Hypnotherapist - I am specially trained in the treatment of depression, sadness and feeling low. Pure Analytical Hypnotherapy aims at the permanent removal of the cause of depression, Suggestion Therapy and Hypnosis, or Clinical Hypnotherapy focuses on managing the symptoms of depression.

Depression may occur as a result of some crisis or stress, like a relationship break-up, exams, job move, money worries or bereavement. These causes of depression are perhaps easier to understand than when there is no obvious cause in which case 2 to 3 sessions of Hypnosis combined with suggestion therapy could be an appropriate form of therapy for you.

But depression with no obvious cause is well recognized. It is called endogenous depression, meaning coming from within. It is nothing to be ashamed of, and you can get help in the form of Pure Analytical Hypnotherapy.

You could soon be enjoying life again, which is what I am sure you deserve.

Symptoms of depression

Stress can lead to you to feeling 'down' and 'miserable'. What is different about a depressive condition is that these feelings last for weeks or months, rather than days. In addition to feeling low most or all of the time, many other symptoms can occur in depressive illness (though not everybody has every one).

• Being unable to gain pleasure from activities that normally would be pleasurable.
• Losing interest in food and losing weight (though some people overeat and put on weight - 'comfort eating').
• Losing interest in sex.
• Finding it difficult to concentrate and think straight.
• Feeling restless, tense and anxious.
• Being irritable.
• Losing self-confidence.
• Avoiding other people.
• Finding it harder than usual to make decisions.
• Feeling useless and inadequate - 'a waste of space'.
• Feeling guilty about who you are and what you have done.
• Feeling hopeless - that nothing will make things better.
• Suicidal feelings
