Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

I have experienced depression since the age of 14 (that I am aware of) and feel it would be nice when I feel well for the first time in over a year to maybe be there for others someone elses perspective can be helpful

Treatments

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked

I was referred to a PHsycologist at age 17 for cognitive therapy and although I wasn't aware of it at that time I have come to realise that it is in there somewhere, It cant do any harm its only talking after all ? MMMmaybe ! it just for me I suppose it kind of makes me appreitiate the good things and hang on to them when I feel like letting go helps me prioritise what really matters and cut out things that I don't really have to do so you kind of dont set yourself up for the fall!

Meditation Somewhat Helpful

helps with sleep somtimes

Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
