What is anxiety?
Sometimes anxiety is normal and helps us perform at our best or avoid a harmful situation. But when these feelings become intense and overwhelming they can interfere with life. If you believe you are suffering anxiety you might have feelings of worry most of the time and might even feel panicked or frightened. You might also experience physical symptoms when anxious, such as stomach cramps, racing heart, shaky hands and nausea. If this sounds like you, you might benefit from seeking anxiety help from the experienced psychologists at CJ Psychology & Associates.
What is depression?
Everyone experiences difficult emotions, like sadness, anger and hopelessness. When these emotions become long-lasting and start to affect someone’s ability to live their life, depression may be cause. Feelings you might experience include guilt, sadness, anxiety, worthlessness, hopelessness, lack of motivation and disappointment. This can lead to loss of enjoyment in the social activities you enjoy, inability to function at work or school, loss of appetite and tiredness. Depression treatment can start with managing stresses in your life, seeking support from family and friends and keeping physically active.
Also, as anxiety and depression are often associated with other emotional responses, our psychologists can offer a range of other counselling services that might be beneficial. We also offer counselling in anger management, stress management and individual counselling for people with interpersonal and self-esteem issues.
