.. major depression treatment/ therapy in the philippines ... (life coach, counselor, psychotherapist, psychologist, psychiatrist)

.
abs-cbn's kwentong disyerto did a segment on major depression.
.
in the show, i explained that major depression is caused by a serotonin imbalance in the brain and is manifested by the following symptoms: a depressed mood, loss of motivation or enjoyment, sleep pattern changes, appetite changes, energy level changes, constant worrying and pessimism, low self-confidence, poor concentration, and thoughts of death or suicide.
.
i also emphasized that the treatment of major depression includes a combination of anti-depressant medication, psychotherapy, stress management techniques, and holistic natural therapies.
.
the good news is that major depression is easy to treat. in fact, most of my patients (99% of them) get well within 2-3 weeks of taking the appropriate anti-depressant. as soon as they get well, they should be able to resume their previous daily routines and fully enjoy life again!
