What causes depression?

The exact cause is not known. Anyone can develop depression. Clinical depression is typically caused by a combination of biological, genetic, and psychological factors. A recent death or loss, family conflict or divorce, financial difficulties, major life transitions, and other stresses can contribute to or exacerbate a depressive episode. It should also be emphasized that some depressive episodes can occur without identifiable causes. You may have no particular problem or worry, but symptoms can develop quite suddenly.

Things to Avoid in depression

• Avoid important decisions unless necessary.
• Reduce your involvement in activities that are stressful.
• Try to think positive.
• Don’t assume responsibility for events that are outside of your control.
• Seek treatment.

What is Addiction?

People who use drugs can’t stop taking a drug even if they want to, it’s called addiction. The urge is too strong to control, even if you know the drug is causing harm.When people start taking drugs, they don’t plan to get addicted. They like how the drug makes them feel. They believe they can control how much and how often they take the drug. However, drugs change the brain. Those who use drugs start to need the drug just to feel normal. That is addiction, and it can quickly take over a person’s life.Addiction can become more important than the need to eat or sleep. The urge to get and use the drug can fill every moment of a person’s life. The addiction replaces all the things the person used to enjoy. A person who is addicted might do almost anything—lying, stealing, or hurting people—to keep taking the drug. This could get the person arrested.

People can develop an addiction to:

• Alcohol
• Marijuana
• PCP, LSD and other hallucinogens
• Inhalants, such as, paint thinners and glue
• Opioid pain killers, such as codeine and oxycodone, heroin
• Sedatives, hypnotics and anxiolytics (medicines for anxiety such as tranquilizers)
• Cocaine, methamphetamine and other stimulants
• Tobacco

Signs of Drug Use and Addiction

People with drug problems might act differently than they used to. They might:

• Spend a lot of time alone
• Lose interest in their favorite things
• Get messy—for instance, not bathe, change clothes, or brush their teeth
• Be really tired and sad
• Be very energetic, talk fast, or say things that don’t make sense
• Be nervous or cranky (in a bad mood)
• Quickly change between feeling bad and feeling good*.sleep at strange hours
• Miss important appointments
• Have problems at work
• Eat a lot more or a lot less than usual

People with an addiction usually can’t stop taking the drug on their own. They want and need more. They might try to stop taking the drug and then feel really sick. Then they take the drug again to stop feeling sick. They keep using the drug even though it’s causing terrible family, health, or legal problems. They need help to stop using drugs.

MARRIAGE COUNSELLING

Often we hear from couples they are in despair; frightened that their relationship is beyond help. Their communication has broken down, trust has eroded and physical relationship is near non-existent. We also frequently see fundamentally strong couples that may be facing a specific crisis and want the aid of a professional.

Couples desperately want to repair their relationship, both for their sake and their children’s, but they do not understand their partner’s point of view and rarely understand how their own actions contribute to conflicts.

HOW WE APPROACH COUPLE COUNSELLING:

Years of experience of helping couples to save their relationship and marriage and bring back peace and harmony in their life The way to handle the conflict is the first approach To teach by increasing the communication which allows couple to resolve their own issues during and after therapy.

• Provide the couple with an understanding of the goals of therapy.
• Set the boundaries of therapy so each will feel safe to express his or her point of view in a way the other can hear and understand, even though he or she may not agree.
