Depression Counseling in Houston, with Dr. Cousins
Many people will experience depression at some time during their lives, and in these times rates of depression are increasing markedly. When someone has their first episode of depression, there are changes which occur in the body and mind, so it is important to get treatment quickly and begin depression counseling, so that the changes that have occurred become less permanent. As human beings, we have feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and physical reactions.
Depression includes a pervasive feeling of sadness, negativity, lethargy or agitation, which persists for more days than not for over two weeks or more. It can affect our sleep, appetite, thinking and concentration, digestion, as well as our relationships. It is important to get this problem treated as soon as possible so that this problem will not become more permanent or habitual.
What is Bipolar Depression
Bipolar Depression and other causes of mood instability can make life difficult and unpredictable, as we struggle to manage life while dealing with unpredictable moods, which can range from elation, hyper irritation to deeply depressed, with no apparent triggers. Developing new skills and attitudes can make these shifts in moods less disruptive. Collaborating with a psychologist to establish new skills and attitudes can help. Making an appointment is the first step.
