Guidance for professionals and individuals who are struggling with depression and anxiety.
| EDMONDS, Wash., Nov. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Gregory Jantz, best-selling author of 39 books, founder of nationally acclaimed The Center • A Place of HOPE in Edmonds, Washington, and leading mental health expert, today provides guidance for professionals and individuals who are struggling with depression and anxiety. “October was Depression Awareness Month, and I spent much of it speaking at conferences and appearing on television programs that are emphasizing depression and anxiety treatment, and the prevention of suicide. We spent five days at the American Association of Christian Counselors World Conference in Nashville where I spoke on ‘Anxiety is the New Depression.’ I just returned from a three-day trip to Los Angeles where I appeared on the La La Land Morning Show and on Sam Hassan’s Talk Radio show.” At each turn, it was clear that the interest and awareness on the topics of depression, anxiety, and suicide have never been greater. On multiple occasions, Dr. Jantz was asked to speak to a WebMD report that notes, “Suicide is the second leading cause of death, following accidents, among youth and young adults in the U.S. It is estimated that 500,000 teens attempt suicide every year with 5,000 succeeding. These are epidemic numbers.” “Couple those facts with an explosion of opioid abuse and deaths, digital bullying, political tension and discourse, an overheated social sharing culture that is fueling anxiety, and young males failing to launch, and we have created a society that is a breeding ground for the mental health crisis in which we find ourselves,” Dr. Jantz says. Signs and Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety In my latest book Healing Depression for Life, we describe how to recognize signs and symptoms of Depression and Anxiety. Do these signs and symptoms of depression feel familiar?
How about these signs of anxiety?
More severe episodes of anxiety can include shortness of breath, tingling in fingers and other extremities, inability to talk, screaming, inability to move fingers or arms, a feeling one is going to die, uncontrollable crying. Remember, no matter how severe your depression or anxiety, there is always HOPE. Even severe depression and anxiety are treatable with excellent long-term results. What Can You Do? After we review the symptoms and signs of depression in Healing Depression For Life, we then work through ways we can help ourselves through proven methods to help reduce or stress, anxiety and depressive thoughts. We can’t undo the ills of society noted above with a snap of our fingers, not even close. But at the individual level, for today, and this holiday season, here are some things on Healing Depression For Life we all can do to help ourselves and those we love not just get through it, but to start to thrive.
