James Gordon Depression

Andrew Solomon writes that one in ten people in the UK say that they have no friends. While the others who took the survey; one in five said they feel like they are unloved. Solomon writes then that those who go through life with the luxury of friends seem to not notice when others are unhappy and isolating themselves. Many people who are depressed lack the treatment; only one in three people receive treatment which means that effective treatment is much smaller. Love is being said to be helpful, not because of how it gets rid of completely of depression, which it doesn’t, but because of how it makes as though life is worth living. If they choose to become better. Solomon also states then how it’d be arrogant if people with friends felt pity

The days I was caught in the storm of depression united me with Jenny Lawson’s second book that became my therapy for that period of time. It was recommended by a close friend who knew of the challenges I faced in a haze of darkness. When she recited excerpts from the book, immediately, the words changed from tangible squiggles to lived nights in distant insomnia.

Incorporating a deeper understanding and practicing religion helps with understanding life and death. Spirituality may be one of the most important components mental, spiritual and social health as one crawls towards end of life (Dose, (2007). A study by Dose, (2007) looked at experiences of spirituality in older adults at the end of their life, especially those receiving hospice care. Participants were asked about their “spiritual journey”. The study concluded that spirituality is important to most of the participants of the study and shaped their views in terms of correctness and moving on. A view of life in terms of religion and spirituality was important to them as they neared the end (Dose, 2007). They also found that spirituality helped with coping with their pain and reduced the stress of being

Seane Corn’s podcast was twofold: educational and invigorating. Hearing her talk about her journey to happiness is a true testimonial to naysayers who are having doubts about the positive effects of yoga. Corn’s journey to happiness, as she conveyed, was not an easy one. She had to clamber her way from an unsettled place as a child growing up in an unstable home. She explained how her blue-collar working class parents raised her in an environment where religious practices were not present and how, as a little girl, she thought of herself as “uneducated.” She abused drugs and the tender age of 19 and was diagnosed with “Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.” She even suffered from an anxiety disorder, but these dark episodes of her life eventually led to healing and happiness once she discovered yoga.

In the 2016 video, “Out of the Blue: Six Non-medication Strategies for Relieving Depression” Bill O’Hanlon said that in his research he discovered that since 1997 depression the rates of depression have radically increased 300%. As counselors, depressed individual make up a large portion of the clients we typically see and depending on the client depression can be challenging to treat. Medications can often help some client, but not all. Therefore, it is our jobs as counselors to find more productive ways to help our clients deal and manage with their different levels of depression. This presentation cover six nontraditional approaches that can be very beneficial for clients struggling with depression.

Pardin, Plante, Sherman, and Stump (2000) that until recently the spiritual piece of treatment was rarely considered in the treatment process. However, within the aforementioned research study, findings indicated that individuals

You may know James (Jim) Carrey from his comedic roles in many movies such as “Dumb and Dumber,” or “The Mask,” but many people do not know that he suffers from depression. Depression is not just feeling sad, it is when a person feels like they are worthless, and their situation cannot be fixed. Many people might feel this for a little while, but when it lasts for weeks and keeps you from being your normal self, it can be a mental illness. Jim Carrey’s depression actually helped him out in some ways, because it led him to becoming the actor, comedian, and film writer/producer that he is today. However, the illness has been and continues to be a major drawback in his life.

In Module Two, Dr. Mark Laaser discussed the five dimensions of recovery. These five dimensions are: spiritual, relational, personal, behavioral, and physical. I’ve highlighted this above the other information in module two because I think it would be very helpful to make sure, as a counselor, when I am praying about the proper therapy plan that I am addressing all five of these areas in some way. It is easy to focus therapy on the dimensions listed previously that have the most prominent symptoms. However, my desire as a caregiver is to allow the Lord to minister complete healing and freedom to every client, therefore it is important for me to cover all five dimensions of recovery that Dr. Laaser outlined.

From this research article, we come to know what spiritual struggle means to us as individuals, highlight the importance of spirituality in clinical practice, and show us how veteran’s spiritual lives are impacted. For instance; their spiritual struggle may concomitantly represent different suicide risk factors and the way of handling these spiritual struggles. From one sources of definition of spirituality, it states that it is “a personal search for meaning and purpose in life, which may or may not be related to religion’’ (Tanyi, 2002).

Unemployment and money problems are among the main causes of depression, it has been claimed. Andy Bell, Chief Executive of the Centre for Mental Health, said the condition is very common and instances can increase during times of economic uncertainty.

William Styron, in his poignant literary work “Darkness Visible: A Memoir of Madness” writes from a very personal viewpoint of the symptoms and the impact of depression, particularly on his own life. Not only his life in general, but how it impacted his social and emotional relationships with others and even the effect on his own self-image. In a way, Mr. Styron ‘normalizes’ the various reactions and symptoms individuals may have when suffering from depression. He EVEN begins the book acknowledging a moment in his life where it was expected of him to behave and react in a certain manner, yet it appears that he was unable to do so due to his depressive symptoms that

Swindoll’s words of wisdom applies to a different audience, when they allow the problem to consume them. According to the Axien in the United States, anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness, affecting “40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older, or 18% of the population”. Even though it is a small amount of the population, the static portrays the amount of constant negative energy an individual has following through their brain, when they are faced with an “unsolvable” scenario. To that end, Charles R. Swindle recognizes this problematic situation by depicting how people are not taking advantage of these crossroads, ultimately leaving them to regret their decision later on, as they were not thinking in a positive mindset. Furthermore, the amount of people with an anxiety disorder also have “a co-occurring disorder or physical illness”, which can make their symptoms “worse and recovery more difficult”. Not only does this static demonstrate the negative effects of ignoring one’s obstacle, but with the constant mindset of feeling that one is unable to solve anything, it leaves the individual in a constant rut, unable to solve anything, and as a result, unable to take of himself. On the other hand, there are scenarios where when “under intense pressure” whether it's a situation where one is by themselves or with others “they won't feel that pain” as “the body pulls out all the stops” by “not feel the pain” in order for
