Depression is dangerous. It is self-defeating and robs us of life. Read of the many types in the following pages. Some are best treated by therapy and others by therapy and anti-depressants. None are best treated by medication alone.
Example one: A person you love very much dies and you feel sad and depressed. That’s normal depression. You feel sad for a long time. It is called grief. During that time you do not degrade yourself by feelings of worthlessness, etc. You go through the five stages of grief until the grief turns to acceptance.
Example two: you become chemically depressed. Chemical depression can come from inherited depression diseases such as bipolar or chronic. It can also come about by Major Depression lasting too long. With chemical depression one most often degrades the self with negative beliefs. The routine solution from doctors is prescribing anti-depressants.
Example three: Antidepressants work wonderfully well or they do not. Here is the time to question the cause of depression. If the doctor tries one and then the other antidepressant and none work well or not at all, the condition causing depression is said to “over ride” the chemicals. What I discovered a few years ago were what I called Emotional Patterns. These patterns were causing the depression.
Example four: By using these patterns, I learned to unravel serious depression and anxiety that had crippled individuals over the course of their lifetimes. Many suffered from the Borderline Personality Disorder, Childhood Sexual Abuse and rape. That made treatment of normal and chemical depression easy in comparison. Like other professionals I had been stumped by these more serious conditions for decades.
Each person has different patterns of emotions. These patterns are based on life experiences. The patterns show links from emotions on a more permanent basis while other emotions trigger as a one time event. It is one of the most fascinating discoveries I have made in the past 34 years as a Senior Mental Health Clinician and Couples/Marriage Counselor. As a result I now offer an Introductory Courses for Understanding and Controlling Emotions. Contact me at lanestokes18@yahoo,com for more information.
