Reasons why people seek a depression therapist

The Orange County Relationship Center serves individuals, couples and families in the Newport Beach area who are affected by depression for a wide number of reasons. Many clients have suffered from clinical depression at various points throughout their lives and rarely experienced life any other way. Others are experiencing “situational depression,” an onset of sadness, grief, anxiety or other symptoms specifically related to a difficult event or period in their life, such as divorce, loss of a loved one or other trauma.

What causes Depression?

There is no one singe cause of depression. There can be a biological component, a psychological component, and a social component.

The pharmaceutical companies would like you to believe that depression is primarily a biological condition. But that misses the point. While you may have a genetic predisposition to depression, by and large depression has a huge biosocial component that has been overlooked,

“The strongest predictor of major depression is still your life experience. There aren’t genes that make you depressed. There are genes that make you vulnerable to depression.” (Dr. Kendler)

This means how you think, how you cope, how you relate to others and how you solve problems can contribute strongly to your mental and emotional well-being. Even if you have had a very difficult history, you can learn to experience life differently. Working with a qualified Depression Therapist – one who understands what you are going through – can help you learn the skills and change your thinking so you can be happier, have more energy and enjoy life more.

There is growing evidence that what sensitizes you to negative experiences can also make you sensitive to positive experiences.
