Depression is one of the strongest human emotions.If you leave this emotion untreated, those suffering from it severly could be lead to something more serious.

Everybody feels unhappy at times.That is normal. But clinical depression goes beyond that.  It is a disease.  But it is treatable.

I would like to offer some advice and tips that I have gained from my experience as a therapist in San Diego.

So when does depression become clinical depression?

Firstly, a person might start to feel like everything is hopeless and sad.When a person feels as if there is no point to anything.Or life isn't worth living. Which could lead to feelings or thoughts of suicide.

This can last for 2 weeks or more.When your depression is lasting that long, that is when you are moving to the state of clinical depression.

And when you hit that tipping point, you need to seek out a therapist.  Do not leave your condition untreated when it hits that point.Believe me, from my experience as a depression counselor I know.

So once you are at that point, you have to do certain things. Because chemistry in your brain or imbalances in your body can cause depression, you might have to go the medical route to treat it.You would use antidrepessant drugs to treat it.

Of course as a counselor, I prefer to treat it through depression counseling.A counselor helps a person start to get to the root of their depression and come to grips with it.

They can also try other forms of therapy like cognitive behavior therapy which addresses how you think.The objective is to confront those negative thoughts and turn them around to a positive.

A therapist can also help you use relaxation techniques.If stress is the cause of depression, a good way to combat that form of stress is through relaxation.

Most of all a depression counselor will be the most effective person to find out what is causing the depression.

They can find out if it is caused by some circumstance recently, such as a loss in the family.  They can find out if it is caused by something that happened in the past.Or they can look to see if it is something that is caused by your body.  Whether it is some physiological change.

Depression is a condition that is treatable.But when the cause is not known, there is no way to treat it.This where finding someone that is a good counselor or therapist will help tremendously.
