Depression is an emotional disorder characterized by fluctuating moods, which vary depending on the causes of the depression.
It’s important to distinguish true depression from a temporary depressive mood. During the day, we may experience a shift in mood due to bad news, gloomy weather, or sad music, and suddenly feel depressed. However, with the first rays of sunshine, a good drink, pleasant music, and being in the company of someone we enjoy, our mood can improve.
Recognizing the moment when depressive mood starts to become a habit is crucial, as it signals the risk of developing full-blown depression. In this case, depression becomes a continuous, persistent feeling of worthlessness and helplessness, accompanied by guilt and difficulty performing daily tasks.
A fear of life, of valuable and beautiful things, a sense of not deserving attention or love, and later, complete disregard for life’s values, are key characteristics of those suffering from depression.
These emotional states may also lead to physical issues such as insomnia, headaches, loss of appetite, and nonspecific pain. A loss of interest in the environment and life itself often leads to suicidal thoughts.
There are different types of depression depending on the cause, but no matter the type, it is essential to begin treating the individual with depression as soon as possible.
Today, we are all exposed to demanding challenges at work and within our families. Stress is a typical response when we question what’s happening in our lives. Does this mean we all should be depressed?
Through Bowen technique, we stimulate the body’s self-healing process and bring balance to the autonomic nervous system. By activating the parasympathetic system, the body produces happiness and satisfaction hormones – serotonin and dopamine. After Bowen therapy, it’s common for the client to feel more relaxed, calm, and satisfied. This can be the first step in peeling away the layers of devaluation and experiencing that first ray of light and hope.
