Individual counselling
Today’s world is full of many stressors that effect our mental health on a daily basis. Mental health can be so crippling that all enjoyment and goodness in life seems to have disappeared.
Are you, or someone you know, having problems with depression, anxiety or any other mental health issues? Mental health care can sometimes seem like a never-ending maze, going around and around without actually finding what’s really needed.
You are on right path by exploring the options and seeking help.
Depression
It’s normal behaviour to feel sad every now and then. However, if these feelings of sadness are ongoing and persistent and you don’t see any way of shrugging them off, this could be one of the many signs of depression.
Anxiety
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems in Australia. Again, it’s normal to feel anxious now and then but if those feelings are with you daily, feelings of restlessness with poor sleep may be a sign of a developing Anxiety Disorder. There are different types of Anxiety including:
Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Feeling worried and anxious most of the time without any one thing causing these feelings. These feelings become more intense and persistent over time.
Panic attacks come on suddenly with physical symptoms of shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, sweating and sometimes vomiting. In many cases panic attacks can be mistaken for heart attacks.
Grief and Loss
Feeling sad and grieving for a significant loss is normal. Sometimes help is needed to overcome the overwhelming sense of intense sadness. This often leads to other significant problems like poor and/or irregular sleep patterns, poor eating habits, cutting off communication with others and social anxiety.
