Low Mood and Loss of Self-Worth
One in four people will experience low mood in their life at any one time
and the term ‘low mood’ is used to describe many disorders
ranging from mild to severe depression
With life pressure it is easy to be affected by everyday interactions at home, at work or socially. Many people will feel unhappy, fed up and tired for a few days at a time. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they have low mood.
How to tell if you have low mood
Depression will affect people in different ways. Most people who are depressed have feelings ranging from sadness to hopelessness and have often lost interest in what they used to enjoy doing. They are often tearful and tend to keep on their own. Often people with low mood will also have symptoms of anxiety.
The physical symptoms will range from feeling lethargic, complaining of aches and pains, experiencing a loss of appetite and sex drive and often spending long hours sleeping.
Because low mood is a complex phenomenon, it is important that clients seek medical advice before having any complimentary therapy
If the feelings persist, it is important to consult a doctor so that it can be carefully diagnosed. low mood is a real illness with real symptoms and with appropriate treatment and support it is totally possible for the person to recover.
According to the UK National Health Service (NHS), doctors describe low mood by how serious it is:
– Mild low mood has some impact on your daily life
– Moderate low mood has a significant impact on your daily life
– Severe low mood makes it almost impossible to get through daily life – a few people with severe low mood may have psychotic symptoms.
