ANXIETY

Anxiety refers to a constant feeling of apprehension or fear causing people to anticipate a negative situation or outcome even without any concrete evidence for it to happen. Anxiety is a normal and often healthy emotion. It is the body's natural response to danger or perceived danger and can help us stay alert and focused in potentially dangerous situations. However, when anxiety is excessive or persistent, it can interfere with our daily lives and cause significant distress, resulting in a significant impact on a person's quality of life. It can make it difficult to work, study, and maintain relationships.

Stress And Anxiety

While stress helps the body mobilize existing resources to meet any threat that presents itself and is often acute;anxiety refers to being in a state of chronic stress that manifests even without an impending danger.

What causes anxiety?

Those with anxiety feel a sense of prolonged uneasiness due to external causes like work pressure, problems in family, academics and so on or due to internal beliefs about one self, ghosts of the past etc.

Symptoms

Feeling of restlessness
Rapid breathing (hyperventilation)
Increased heart rate
Gastrointestinal problems
Inability to concentrate for (reasonably) long periods of time
Always feeling “on the edge”
Feeling an impending sense of doom and/or hopelesness

When should I seek counselling?

Anxiety starts slowly by creeping into normal everyday situations, unknowingly, for example, while hearing about Covid 19 cases rising in one’s housing complex or anywhere closer to home or office making one just a little more paranoid than usual… just a little more sleepless… and fearful. It is ideal to address it at this stage to avoid it becoming an impediment to self-growth going forward… In an early stage, tracking these thoughts and trying to identify a pattern will help.

DEPRESSION

Depression is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease your ability to function at work and at home. Depression presents itself as a persistent sense of low mood, sadness, frustration often leading to hopelessness. It is one of the leading causes of disability across the globe, now more than ever. Even so, it is a common mental disorder and highly treatable.

Sadness And Depression?

Sadness is an emotion that generally comes in response to an immediate upsetting or negative situation in life. While depression is a pervasive sense of sadness that persists over time and may or may not have any underlying situational cause.

What causes depression?

Depression could be caused by a number of factors

External - Experiencing the bereavement of a cherished individual, encountering unforeseen and unprepared life transitions, facing relationship breakdowns, and suffering from employment loss are significant factors that can profoundly impact individuals.
Disruptions in brain chemistry arising from a lack of happiness, absence of feelings of reward, and insufficient stimulation.
Cognitive - Maladpative thinking style and/or dysfunctional beliefs (about self, future or the envrionment)

Symptoms

Decreased/increased appetite and/or sleep
Extreme exhaustion
Increased heart rate
Heavines
Emotional and behavioral difficulties (executive dysfunction
Inability to understand quickly (low processing speed)
Feelings of hopelessness, emptiness, apathy (no interest or enthusiasm) and/or worthlessness
Crying spells
Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities

Behavioural signs to watch out for

Reduced interaction with family or friends
Reduced interest in previously enjoyable activities
Not being their usual self over a period of time
Instances of self harm
Constant thoughts about suicide and morbid outlook

When should I seek therapy?

Depression is a serious yet treatable disorder. As a cause of disability, it impairs the individuals functioning across various facets of life like occupation academics, intimate and social relationships. One must seek mental health help at the earliest signs of the symptoms. A collaborative approach (psychological and pharmacological) to coping with both depression and anxiety is most ideal in case of severity of symptoms; but a preventive approach or early intervention by a qualified therapist is highly recommended to ensure that symptoms do not worsen.

TEENAGE ISSUES

Teenagers face unique mental health challenges due to the country's large adolescent population and the precarious social space they occupy. Erik Erikson's theory of adolescence highlights the importance of identity formation during this time, and the potential for role confusion if this process is not successful. To address the mental health needs of teenagers, we need to increase awareness of these challenges, reduce stigma, and provide accessible and mindfully priced mental health services.

Sadness And Depression?

Typical Issues That Affect Teenagers?

Depression could be caused by a number of factors

Competition and Peer pressure
Body Image
Stress
Bullying
Vocational decision making
Self-exploration and finding one's purpose in life
Home adjustment

Signs To Watch Out For

Reduced interaction with family or friends
Reduced interest in previously enjoyable activities
Increased instances of outbursts (anger, sadness, irritability)
Instances of self harm
Constant talking about suicide
Sleep problems - excessive sleep or reduced sleep
Behaviour that can be “out of control”
(Dramatic) decline in child’s academic performance
Loss of self esteem

When Should I Seek Therapy?

It is important to understand that many of the symptoms may occur due to adjustment as well as a desire to establish independence in the household. If the symptoms are observed in regular intervals and with increasing intensity, mental health services must be availed. In case of incidences of self-harm and/or suicidal ideation, medical and psychiatric intervention should be sought immediately

Relationship Issues (Marriage / Platonic / Family / Friends)

Relationships form the basis of our social life. Good relationships are fulfilling and contribute to our sense of security and belongingness in the world. Relationships can lead to mental health issues in a number of ways. For example, unhealthy relationships can be a major source of stress and anxiety. People in unhealthy relationships may be constantly worried about their partner's reactions, or they may feel pressured to live up to unrealistic expectations. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, and depression.

Issues that affect relationships?

Poor communication
Busy schedules
Financial trouble
Bad habits
Trust issues
Abuse - Abuse may take the form of physical, sexual or the less obvious forms such as emotional or mental. Often the individual undergoes trauma bonding, where the victim forms an attachment to the abuser, preventing them from leaving the relationship. This often happens due to a cyclical pattern of abuse, where abuse is followed by positive experiences (being showered with affection, flooded with gifts) creating doubt and hope in the individual. Such toxic relationships leave a person feeling unlovable, unsupported and misunderstood.

Signs of a toxic relationship

Blurred boundaries
Dismissive of individual's feelings
Possessive and controlling behavior
Manipulation
Festered resentment and disrespect

How do Relationships affect my Mental health

Unhealthy / Toxic relationships can lead to trauma
Abuse and neglect can lead to PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
Caregivers are significantly prone to Depression or Burnout
Infertility and medical problems may cause anxiety, depression, and relationship strain.
Festered resentment and disrespect

When should I seek therapy?

A relationship requires the largest personal investment in a person’s life. While turmoil and disagreements are common, counselling intervention should be sought when either one or both individuals feel that their personhood is being reduced. Increased instances of instability in the relationship, growing indifference, stonewalling and poor communication also warrants that the couple seeks counseling. Preventive support is not a sign that your relationship is in trouble. It is simply a way to invest in your relationship and make it stronger.

I recommend this team of therapists! They have an excellent website for booking appointments that is easy and user-friendly. They have a good variety of therapists with multiple expertise. Their sessions are also available online, in my case, because of travel, is very convenient. I can book a session from anywhere I am. I want to especially praise my therapist for her lovely mix of creative methods to dig deep in a constructive and light but in-depth manner. This helped me a lot to work on myself without it feeling hard or heavy.
