  1. What to Expect with a Counsellor in Mortlake Helping with Depression You aren’t alone if you seek depression counselling in Mortlake, and it can be a step in the right direction to change your life around. Depression can take a toll on the mind and body. It can make it hard to focus on work, on social engagements, or to maintain healthy relationships. Sometimes, there are reasons evident to you causing it, but that isn’t always the case. Assessment Every case of depression can be different, and a customised approach should be taken to address it. This is why the professional offering depression counselling in Mortlake needs to start with a complete assessment. However, this tool is only effective if the patient is willing to fully disclose information. It can be hard to open up to a stranger, but remember they are there to help you.

  2. Based on the assessment, a plan of action can be created. This will include some goals that you and the counsellor agree upon. It can be a challenge for you to reach those goals, but if you work hard and you show up for the sessions, you are on the right path. You need to explore yourself and your decisions both with depression counselling in Mortlake and your daily routine. Healthy Lifestyle Your depression counselling in Mortlake should be paired with a healthy lifestyle. If you are self medicating with drugs or alcohol, you will be encouraged to stop using them. You will be encouraged to replace those habits with social engagements, eating a healthy diet, and daily exercise. The exercise can increase the good chemicals in the brain, helping to reduce depression. Regular Appointments It is important to keep all of your scheduled appointments for the counselling to really help you. There may be times when you want to give up or you feel it is moving too slow. Be patient, and remember how far you have come. Do your homework too because a great deal of your improvements can take place outside of those sessions if you put forth the effort. Underlying Issues As you work through the counselling sessions, there are going to be some underlying issues that emerge. You may not recognise them until the professional points them out to you. It can be upsetting and hard to work through them, but when you do, that can help you to break the cycle of depression you are in. Sometimes, you have to go backwards and then work forwards again. Over time, the depression counselling in Mortlake is going to change and your treatment plan will be modified. As you reach goals or you identify underlying issues, new goals will be initiated. The frequency of the schedule appointments may increase when you are working through a difficult issue. They may be decreased as you show signs of improvement. Medications In many cases, the depression counselling in Mortlake alone isn’t enough for a person to feel their very best. It isn’t uncommon for the professional to also recommend a type of medication called an anti-depressant. This can help to regulate the chemicals in the brain, allowing you to feel better with your mood. There can be some side effects of such medications too. It will take time to identify the right dose and the right medication. Work with them and continue to attend all of the counselling as scheduled. Keep a log of how you feel when you take certain medications too. This information will help them to determine if it is working or if it needs to be changed. They will start you at a low dose and increase it if necessary to help you the most.
