Difficulty Overcoming Anxiety and Depression Related to a Family, Marriage, Work or Personal Problem?
The first step to overcoming anxiety and depression is to better understand both the obvious and hidden challenges you're battling. While most people know that anxiety and depression are related to intense or chronic stress, many don't realize that they are also signals that we need to change some of our thinking or actions to better manage this stress and adapt.
A hidden challenge of anxiety and depression that can ambush us is that our brains and bodies often don't work as well as usual during this time. Common symptoms of anxiety and depression include feeling exhausted and thinking more slowly, negatively and less clearly.
The Good News
But here's the good news - with a better understanding of these conditions and the right help, anxiety and depression are typically very beatable. Millions of people have been helped through these difficult challenges by psychotherapy - literally, therapy for the mind or brain.
Psychotherapy can often be extremely useful to people who are suffering from these conditions and symptoms as well as a wide-range of other challenges such as:
- Conflict or lack of closeness in your marriage or primary relationship
- Lack of self-esteem/self-confidence
- Grief from a major loss
- Self-sabotaging behavior/unconscious, troublesome behaviors
- Anger management
- Family conflict
- Job-related stress
