I have treated more cases of depression and anxiety – particularly anxiety, than I have in many years. Yes, there are many explanations as to how come people get depression and anxiety –job-related stressors, financial stressors, traumatic events such as car accidents during severe winter storms, and in the summer months – tornadoes.
Certainly, the recent events in Japan would qualify as a huge life stressor for the people of that region. When it comes to treatment and recovery for mental health concerns, here’s something I would ask you to keep in mind. My professors in graduate school repeatedly reminded us to ALWAYS always think about multiple etiologies – (multiple causes) for mental health disorders. It is seldom the case that one precipitating event happened, so therefore John becomes depressed for instance. The human brain is a complex and sometimes delicate organ. It is rare that people experience simple cause/effect reaction. Usually, there are multiple incidents, events, stressors, etc. which lead to triggering a depressive episode or a case of anxiety.
How Do I Get Lasting Resolve?? Taking care of your mental health is not like going through the drive-thru @ McDonald’s!! In order to get effective results without repeated episodes of relapse, one must approach treatment in the same manner as mental health clinicians diagnose disorders in the 1st place. Consider multiple approaches to treat your emotional health concerns.
For example, taking medication is important, but it is only part of the solution. Many of my clients have found seriously life changing results for their depression and anxiety based mental health issues by utilizing E.M.D.R. as part of their treatment. For more on how E.M.D.R. works, please refer to my website and click on the “EMDR” tab. To find out how to get more effective treatment for yourself: call 952-443-3970 to schedule an appt today.
