Dealing With Depression

There is some evidence that this occurrence can run in families and may actually have a genetic makeup. When a depression treatment center considers the physiological-cognitive causes, they come to the conclusion, that this type of cause affects 4%-9% of the population. These figures rise tremendously during the college years where it is estimated that 25% of college students have experience dealing with depression. In addition to that, 33% of college drop-outs experienced dealing with depression before making the decision to quit school. This type of facility may be able to reveal these statistics, but hearing them has led to the conclusion that developmental, psychological, interpersonal, spiritual, and other non-physical influences are at the basis of many reasons this occurs. Some evidence even suggests that many people have had some disturbing childhood experiences. These people can choose to attend such facility in order to sort out their memories and to utilize the diverse therapy options available to them.

A good counselor may also recognize that this disorder may be a result of a physical illness. In fact 40% of all depression treatment center cases are from people who have some type of illness, and didn't know it, or were not dealing with the reality of it correctly. The best way for people to cure themselves is to eliminate the stressors in their life. Stress is the number one cause and unexplained physical ailments. The toll that stress takes on the human body is mind boggling. There are many antidepressant drugs to take, but unless the patient is truly chemically imbalanced, they only cure the symptom and not the true problem. As soon that the drug therapy is reduced or eliminated, the original stressors and depressive state returns. Seeking the help of a counselor can be one way to combat the real issues of what is causing the depression. "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope in God: for I shall yet praise Him, Why is the health of my countenance and my God." (Psalm 43:5)

In society today, there are effective treatments without having to attend a special facility. Most of these treatments have been found to reduce symptoms, at least with some people, and frequently the feelings can be eliminated completely. People with this disorder are often passive, nonverbal, poorly motivated, pessimistic, and characterized by a resigned, giving up attitude. The counselor must reach out verbally and take a more active role in the cure of this ailment. Optimistic reassuring statements and "glass is half full, not half empty" attitudes are typically presented within the center to these people. The counselor will listen attentively to what the person has to say; trying to hear any evidence of anger, hurt, negative thinking, poor self esteem, and guilt.
