Counselling and Psychotherapy for Depression in central London

Facts about Depression

You are not alone. About 2 in 3 adults have depression at some time in their life. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men will have an episode of depression serious enough to require treatment at some point in their lives.

Depression can be brought on by a specific event - the end of a relationship; a death; or a period of stress. However, depression can also set-in when everything else in your life seems fine.

Some people are more susceptible to depression than others. The explanation for this probably lies in previous life experiences or family background.

The best treatment depends on your particular case. Recent research suggests that while medication (anti-depressant) is helpful in alleviating the symptoms of depression in the short term, psychotherapy is necessary to adress the underlying causes and prevent a relapse.
