Anxiety, panic and stress are common and treatable. Panic attacks, stress and anxiety can suddenly happen to people who have never experienced these symptoms before. They are associated with states of phobias and other emotional experiences. A sense of fear, low mood, breathlessness, palpitations, fast heart beats and sweating are some of the characteristics, and attacks can last from a few minutes to a few hours. Deep breathing and drugs can help but do not eliminate the problem. We believe that the cause must be dealt with as well as the symptom using therapies like NLP, Hypnotherapy and CBT.

Some people cannot distinguish the difference between a real threat that causes a rational fear and an imagined threat that is irrational . Symptoms include Tiredness, Broken Sleep, Tension, Tense Muscles, Avoidance of Situations and Places, Loss of Concentration, Heart Palpitations, Nervousness, Worry, Paranoia, Unease, Dizziness, Irrational Behaviour, Fear.

These emotions have been learned, and can be unlearned with the help of NLP and Hypnosis

Everyone who suffers from stress or anger issues has different reasons for their problems. These may be historical (e.g. Post Traumatic Stress), relationship problems, work, abuse, a combination of these or a very individual reason. We find it best to treat each case individually, rather than with a "conveyor belt" approach. In each case the person suffers from a negative response to a stimulus. This situation, person or other stimulus triggers a response (e.g. anger, depression, stress, anxiety, etc) which is neither productive nor helpful. By using relaxation therapy to reduce current levels of agitation or stress, the person's ability to cope is improved. By using psychotherapy and counselling techniques, the underlying issues are addressed.

Depression as a mood

We all like to think of ourselves as even-tempered people; well-balanced ,equable in all things and well in control of ourselves. This gives rise to the incorrect belief that our day-to-day mood is consistent - that we keep to an even emotional tenor in all our ways. This is not so.

Our feelings follow a cyclical pattern - a little up , a little down; small variations from moment to moment, from hour to hour, from day to day. This follows the patterns of other bodily functions such as temperature and level of chemicals in the blood. This variability is based on what are known as circadian rhythms - twenty four hour cycles of activity which are perhaps related to the alternation of the hours of light and the hours of darkness. As daylight comes and goes so does our 'mood' ; the sum total of all our feelings at a given time. These feelings, the good and the bad, combine to give us a general feeling of well-being or of apprehension.

We talk colloquially of our mood going up and down. Depression happens when our mood is down. There are a number of slang phrases used to describe this feeling of 'downess': fed up, browned off, cheesed off, down in the dumps, the blues, the glooms,the miseries, feeling low, at a low ebb, lifeless, flat and so on.

The word depression, when applied to a state of mood, shares with all these colloquial words and phrases a sense of being down in spirit,low in energy, having a sense of loss, hopelessness and uselessness. It implies apathy and pessimism. The opposite mood would be enthusiasm, joy, hopefulness and optimism.

A depressed mood very often comes on after disappointment, or a sense of having lost something, but it also can come out of the blue, apparently spontaneously. Some people are more prone to this apparently spontaneous shift of mood and are said to be cyclothymic. I say apparently spontaneous because clinical experience with patients shows that there is nearly always a preceding cause for a mood change, but the person experiencing it is not always aware of the cause. As the person talks with the doctor, he will become aware of events that have, as it were, triggered off the mood change. A few patients vigorously deny this, but they can be shown to be avoiding a situation or occurrence which has been particularly painful or embarrassing to them.

In this sense of having a depressed mood, we all get depressed. It can occur on its own, but is often accompanied by another feeling-anxiety. This is an unpleasant feeling of anticipated disturbance. The very fact of becoming depressed can spark off anxiety in susceptible people; in others, depression arises in conjunction with anxiety or is initiated by it.

Moods arise out of all kinds of experiences. An experience inevitably linked to a depressed mood is that of feeling devalued and losing a sense of being appreciated, or being loved as a person. This sense of loss itself is often called depression, as well as the mood of depression to which the feeling of loss can lead.

As well as a depressed mood , this experience of losing something valuable can be associated with feelings of frustration and resentment. When we are depressed we often want to be quiet and keep to ourselves: when we are frustrated or resentful we want to attack the object of our frustration and resentment. A mixture of depression with anxiety , frustration and resentment are the ingredients of a very disturbing state called agitation. Obviously it disturbs the person suffering from it and it also disturbs those who see that the person is agitated - like many extreme moods,aspects of this experience are socially infectious.

The concept of 'temperament' is used to describe types of people and to separate them into contrasting groups: warm hearted, cold hearted, stable, unstable,confident,diffident,optimistic and pessimistic. These are descriptions of a continuing aspect of personality rather than a passing emotional response. Our temperament can be thought of as a measure of our customary general attitude to life and its fortunes.

People can be divided roughly into those who cope with life and those who do not-like all generalizations this is true only in the widest sense. Most people can cope with some things but not with others, but there are people who are generally 'inadequate' and have to rely on others for strength, encouragement and support. Some of these people are chronically pessimistic; they expect the worse out of life and usually get it. Rabindranath TaTagore, the great Indian philosopher, said, ' Expect nothing and then you will not be disappointed.' This is the attitude of the cynic or perhaps, the sceptical realist. The attitude of the depressed personality is, 'There is no use hoping for anything. I always get the worst that's going.' It is important to distinguish the transient pessimism, which is part of depressed mood,and the persistent pessimistic attitude which is part of the depressed personality. The first is a response to stimulus; the second is an attitude to life.

Moods, experiences and attitudes can be common to any of us.They may not make us happy, but they do not necessarily mean that we are sick; they just show how we happen to be at a given time ,whereas illness implies a discontinuity, a change from health to sickness. At one moment a person is fit and well, functioning pretty satisfactorily, then suddenly he is sick; he has become a patient who feels distressed, loses effectiveness and shows disturbance of his bodily and mental functions. He is 'no longer himself '. It is not always easy to be sure when somebody is actually ill. Some moods can be so severe and incapacitating that they merge into illness. It is not necessarily a matter of severity even, but of a person's ability to absorb stress and deal with it. Illness implies that the machine has broken down in some way. For example, computers have a built-in mechanism which switches them off when they are being over loaded; it is a protective device. Depression can be thought of in the same way- a protective mood, which temporarily switches the person off until he can cope better. If the computer cut-out does not work in time, or fails, the machine will blow a fuse and stop until the faulty part is replaced. Depressive illness, as opposed to depressive mood, is like that, the machine has gone wrong and it needs help to be put right again.

The word 'depression' can be deceptively simple. When we talk to each other we must define what we mean by depression. Otherwise when one of us means mood, another may mean illness; when one of us is talking about experience, another may mean attitude to life. As we go on to look further into the nature of depression in all its different aspects, these basic distinctions and definitions should be kept in mind.

just feels so damn awkward with certain people though!
