    Depression is not permanent. Depression can come and go just like the cold or the flu. It's a chemical imbalance that does not necessarily need to be treated with medications either.

Coping skills, self care, sleep and eating habits are of the most important in treating depression READ MORE

  • Is therapy better than antidepressants for anxiety?

    Yes, I think medication should never be the first option, but if the client needs the extra boost until they make progress then medications might be an option. Medications are not a cure all, you have to do work to overcome and learn how to deal with the anxiety and/or depressive symptoms. SSRIs were created to help you get over the initial hurdle, but they were not truly created for long term use, even though many people especially in the US take long term. READ MORE
