Sometimes men don't see depression as depression. It can just feel like your irritable all the time. You get easily frustrated and lash out at others. You start avoid the relationships in your life. You get home from work and you go be by yourself. This isn't helping though. It helps you escape the pressure of everything and everyone else. (Until the guilt pops back up later). You're tired though. And thinking about how to tackle this seems more exhausting. Let's start getting perspective on this so you can find where to go from here. You deserve to feel better. You deserve to manage your emotions and relationships with confidence.

Major Depression is a mental health problem that afflicts many people. Its painful effects can impair the ability to function normally and live a happy, productive life. My approach to counselling depression is based on Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavioural therapies. This combined approach can help clients learn how to identify, dispute, and replace negative thoughts and beliefs about self, others, the world, and God, which often maintain their depression. Homework assignments are completed between sessions to assist clients to practice skills learned in therapy as part of the treatment.
