Coping With Trauma

By

Life events that are frightening, harmful or disturbing may have lasting effects on our psychological health. Trauma is the psychological injury incurred from being involved in or witness to such events. If left untreated, those who have experienced a traumatic event may find it difficult to continue normal functioning or cope with their daily schedules and responsibilities.

Emotional and physical signs that you are dealing with a traumatic event may include;

  • Easily startled
  • Nightmares/Disturbed sleep
  • Disorientation/Confusion
  • Social withdrawal and isolation
  • Avoidance of certain places or events

Thankfully, trauma is treatable. Most people who experience a potentially traumatic event will recover with the help of a trained psychologist. Our team will be able to work with you to provide personalised advice to help minimise distress and get you on your way to living a full and healthy life.

Depression in Older Adults

By

Recognising Depression in Older Adults can be challenging. Many fail to recognise the symptoms, or are often reluctant to talk about their feelings or ask for help. Some of the reasons that depression in the elderly is often overlooked include:

  • The belief that depression is just a part of ageing
  • Assuming that you have good reason to be down
  • Not realising that physical complaints are signs of depression
  • Co-occurring medical conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease, stroke, or diabetes

Therapy works well for depression as it addresses the underlying causes rather than just the symptoms. If you have lost interest in activities that you once enjoyed, or finding it hard to manage some of the challenges ahead, seeing a psychologist can help.

They may or may not have been diagnosed with it in childhood.
