There are various types of depression in varying degrees.

Sometimes the term is used to describe a general feeling of sadness or non- motivation. 'Full blown' depression can cause the whole self to shut down - to cut off from the world. It seems the self just cannot take any more in. This can be a natural defence mechanism, to allow time for healing.

There has been a lot of success in working with depression to find the cause - what has been 'depressed' down inside.
When this is found and released a person can go forward with renewed energy.

Therapy through Sunshine Project works in this way. Cognitive Analytical Therapy explores the past and the present, and using psychology can give answers to clients questions of why? and how?. Releasing a part of the self that has been suppressed or dealing with feelings that have been suppressed, can give renewed energy to be used in a positive way.

If you feel sad or down, and need someone to talk to urgently, the Samaritans are there day and night.
