Hypnosis for Depression

Before we discuss the benefits of hypnosis to treat depression, DID YOU KNOW:

• Depression affects approximately 14.8 million American adults, or about 6.7 percent of the U.S. population age 18 and older, in a given year.
• While major depressive disorder can develop at any age, the median age at onset is 32. 
• Major depressive disorder is more prevalent in women than in men.
• As many as one in 33 children and one in eight adolescents have clinical depression.
• People with depression are four times as likely to develop a heart attack than those without a history of the illness.
• Women experience depression at twice the rate of men. This 2:1 ratio exists regardless of racial or ethnic background or economic status.

With these kinds of morbid statistics, it's clear to understand why treatment should be the priority of anyone experiencing overwhelming, recurrent feelings of sadness or depression.

Hypnosis is the process of re-programming the subconscious in order to replace negative thoughts and imagery with positive energy. Hypnosis can remove the barriers to happiness and help you get on a path that will lead to a more fulfilling, enjoyable life.

Depression is evident in people when they experience a loss of both mental and physical energy. They can also lose interest in activities they once enjoyed, or remove themselves from previously enjoyable relationships and associations. Hypnosis serves to restore what is lost to depression by suggesting a different attitude or mind set that makes reality overrule irrational thoughts that lead to sadness.

Hypnosis has a powerful impact on moods and behaviors and this is especially true in the treatment of those with bipolar disorder or manic depression. Hypnosis has the ability to relax both mind and body and create a stabilized way of thinking and feeling. The extremes “ups” during the manic part of bipolar disorder and the extreme “downs” or episodes of depression are less pronounced when hypnosis is used to balance out emotions.

Self hypnosis for depression is extremely effective because you are able to do it in the privacy of your own home in a safe and comfortable environment. After several weeks of self hypnosis, symptoms of manic depression should be lessoned dramatically and without a prescription.
