Many people suffer from feelings of sadness, hopelessness or emptiness. They have problems to manage their every-day life and are often frustrated and unable to take part in any kind of activity. A comment of a depressed person often is something like: - “I can not get up in the morning. It is impossible. I can’t find any reasons, to get up. I´m feeling useless and inactive.” - “My life does not have any meaning, I do not know what I’m doing here. I could also be dead.”


Often sad? Feeling inactive or weak? Depression


- “I’m always too weak and tired to get my every-day life done.” If you hear yourself or close people complaining in this or a similar way, and also see them as not happy or content, consider that a depressive episode or disorder can be the reason. In this case, the risk to fall into a vicious circle is given: The more you lack of activity and power, the more difficult it will be for you to get up and ask for help! For this reason, the support and motivation of the partner or close relatives are very important. In the end the suffering person surely will be thankful of having received this impetus to look for professional help! The way to help somebody out of depression has to be found in psychological advice. No inefficient medication full of side effects is required. To lift the myth of the psychological treatment, in my practice a very transparent program is used. So the patient knows from the beginning, what the procedure is and what steps have to be done. For


example, in the beginning of the program it is very important to build up motivation and compromise. Also, it is not only listening. Teaching psychological proceedings, learning about oneself and generating self efficiency helps to face situations of depression and avoids falling back into unwanted situations and behaviour. Do not hesitate to ask for a free initial consultation in your language and you will be surprised, how straight forward, transparent and helpful modern Psychological Consultation is!
