Traumatic Events Can Trigger Depression

It is quite normal for even the happiest of people to experience feelings of negativity from time to time. The financial and work pressures of modern living, health concerns, issues of safety and security, concern for family and for the future, are all things most people will confront and struggle with at some stage in their life, even if their overall outlook on life is a positive one. However, for some people, stressful issues that most people can confront and work through become huge obstacles which they cannot overcome, and as a result they are rendered emotionally, and sometimes physically, helpless.

Stress can result from life changes like moving to another city or state, starting a new job, or getting married, even when they are happy and planned events. In a similar manner to negative events, these situations can, in some people, develop further into depression. Professional assistance through counselling Brisbane can help people in these situations to understand what is happening to them.

While we now accept that the experiences of life have an effect on the mind, what is less understood is the complex relationship between stressful situations, how the mind and body reacts to that stress, and the likelihood that this relationship will trigger the onset of clinical depression. In fact, stress and depression can happen to people whose lives appear to be relatively free of negative events. To make matters more confusing, a life event that one person can brush off can cause clinical depression in a different person.

There are different stages in the average person’s life where stress and depression can go hand-in-hand. The adolescent trying to find a way in life, the middle-aged manager made redundant, the mother whose children have finally left home, people living in abusive relationships are all under elevated levels of stress. To be in this state for prolonged periods of time can lead to depression through the belief that the person is powerless to change their situation, a condition known as “learned helplessness.”

Evidence is available to suggest that a single traumatic event like an unexpected death or negative experience is enough for some people to fall into a depressive state. It is a sobering thought that a single traumatic event could be enough to cause an episode of depression that could negatively impact lives for some time.  If this is suspected, an immediate consultation with a psychologist Brisbane is essential.

Stress and depression are, unfortunately, a fact of modern life and our ability to recognise and deal with the effects is essential to a smooth recovery. Professional help is readily available, and anyone suffering from depression should not be afraid to attend a consultation.
