What Is Anxiety & Depression?
- Is it an overwhelming sense of worry, fear or panic?
- Is it shutting down, not enjoying things you normally enjoy?
- Is it withdrawing from social interactions or isolating yourself?
- Is it the physical sensations of a knot in the stomach, nausea or the feeling of butterflies?
- Is it the relentless stream of racing thoughts? An inability to shut your mind off?
- Is it the need for control?
Many describe anxiety and depression by its symptoms. But that would be like describing the flu by its symptoms! So how is one ever supposed to heal if we are merely treating symptoms? For decades, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) has been the most common treatment for anxiety and depression. However, it falls short of understanding the depth of what is truly going on. Individuals are learning to cope, adapt and mask the underlying problem!
You Matter & We Care!
In recent years, rates of anxiety and depression have surged to unprecedented levels:
Pre-Covid statistics:
- 1 in 4 individuals experienced clinical levels of anxiety or depression.
- By age 40, half of the population had faced or were facing clinical anxiety or depression.
Post-Covid statistics:
- Currently, half of the population is grappling with clinical levels of anxiety or depression.
- The future outlook, particularly by age 40, remains uncertain.
- The rate of suicidal ideation has doubled in Canada and continues to rise.
In the wake of monumental societal shifts, life appears to have changed, people have changed, and many are experiencing immense loss, often suffering in silence.
