Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Have you already tried therapy but found it ineffective?

Are you feeling hopeless, isolated, and not your usual self? Do you feel like you will never achieve your goals? Do you ever feel like a failure? 

When it comes to treating anxiety or depression, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because therapy for anxiety and depression - as opposed to anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medication  - treats more than just symptoms of the problem.

Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety or depression:

• Anxiety
  • Nervousness, restlessness, or being tense
  • Feelings of danger, panic, or dread
  • Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about
  • Obsessions about certain ideas; a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder
  • Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past; a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder 
• Depression
  • Feeling hopeless, isolated or not your usual self
  • Feeling hopeless
  • Loss of energy or interest in doing anything
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Crying uncontrollably
  • Weight loss or gain
  • Isolating yourself from others

Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.
