Depression comes in many forms. There is a nagging, lower-grade type that makes every day tasks a drag to perform. There are also more severe mood disorders that make functioning almost impossible. Often, medications are helpful in addition to psychotherapy for these situations. Medicines help people function better in therapy (contrary to common beliefs), and allow people to resume their lives while they get help. It is important to realize that depression becomes a chemical imbalance at times, changing the way people actually think (negative, hopeless). We work to relieve unresolved emotional issues and substitute healthier patterns of thinking to facilitate getting back on track.

Grey Matters International, Inc. and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D. handles depression and other emotional disorders in a very unique way. Most of therapy or counseling processes utilize validation, unconditional positive regard, and reframing as common techniques to get someone to heal from their depression. Though this can be helpful, it rarely fixes the core problem behind it and for tough cases we then refer them usually to a psychiatrist for medication which can have tons of side effects. Instead, why not try a natural and arguably more effective way to not just change your mind, but change the brain--where the depression is rooted. Contact us at kevin@kevinflemingphd.com
