Individual, Relationship And Group Co Information about counselling and psychotherapy services by experienced counsellor in individual, relationship and group counselling situations with expertise in trauma, childhood abuse, depression, addictions and self esteem. http://www3.telus.net/TurnPoint/

Turning Point Therapy provides professional counseling for a variety of issues. Delyse Ledgard M.A. has been providing counseling services to the Vancouver community for 20 years and began Turning Point Therapy 13 years ago. In her practice she strives to provide an atmosphere of safety and care where people can heal from the stresses and traumas in their lives. She provides in depth psychotherapy, as well as short term counselling that can offer support and direction through a difficult time in a person’s life. Whether you want to embark on a more longer term transformative process, or you want to find a solution to a particular situation in your life, counseling can provide you with the space to explore this. For healing to occur in our lives we need to be in the presence of someone who will not judge us, nor expect us to be different but will simply be with us as we face our pain and inner demons. Delyse believes that healing occurs as we strive to live authentically. To live authentically we must stop avoiding pain and suffering by searching for meaning. Instead give in to the mystery of life. Psychotherapy does not provide answers but offers a space for self exploration that can lead a person towards more ease and freedom in their lives. Freedom comes as we embrace things as they are not as we would like them to be, when we allow our desires to lead us without the constraint of having to make it happen. Freedom is when we can stand by our desires even in the face of dissaproval, when we are no longer self conscious. Healing occurs when we are in community. In relationship to others we learn to love.

Sponsored Links From our sponsors: Consumer Disorders and Conditions > Depression in Children and Adolescents advertisement Depression in Children and Adolescents A Fact Sheet for Physicians Depressive disorders, which include major depressive disorder (unipolar depression), dysthymic disorder (chronic, mild depression), and bipolar disorder (manic-depression), can have far reaching effects on the functioning and adjustment of young people. Among both children and adolescents, depressive disorders confer an increased risk for illness and interpersonal and psychosocial difficulties that persist long after the depressive episode is resolved; in adolescents there is also an increased risk for substance abuse and suicidal behavior . Unfortunately, these disorders often go unrecognized by families and physicians alike. Signs of depressive disorders in young people often are viewed as normal mood swings typical of a particular developmental stage. In addition, health care professionals may be reluctant to prematurely "label" a young person with a mental illness diagnosis. Yet early diagnosis and treatment of depressive disorders are critical to healthy emotional, social, and behavioral development. Although the scientific literature on treatment of children and adolescents with depression is far less extensive than that concerning adults, a number of studies-mostly conducted in the last four to five years-have confirmed the short-term efficacy and safety of treatments for depression in youth. Larger treatment trials are needed to determine which treatments work best for which youngsters, and studies are also needed, however, on how to best incorporate these treatments into primary care practice.

T HE D EPRESSED C HILD No. 4 (10/92) (Updated 8/98) N ot only adults become depressed. Children and teenagers also may have depression, which is a treatable illness. Depression is defined as an illness when the feelings of depression persist and interfere with a child or adolescent’s ability to function. About 5 percent of children and adolescents in the general population suffer from depression at any given point in time. Children under stress, who experience loss, or who have attentional, learning, conduct or anxiety disorders are at a higher risk for depression. Depression also tends to run in families. The behavior of depressed children and teenagers may differ from the behavior of depressed adults. Child and adolescent psychiatrists advise parents to be aware of signs of depression in their youngsters. If one or more of these signs of depression persist, parents should seek help: Frequent sadness, tearfulness, crying Hopelessness Decreased interest in activities; or inability to enjoy previously favorite activities Persistent boredom; low energy

Since 1995, Wing of Madness has been providing information and support to people trying to deal with their depression or that of someone they know. This website is about clinical depression. It addresses not the "down" mood which we all get from time to time and which leads us to say, "I'm depressed," but the often debilitating illness which affects one in five people, children as well as adults. Clinical depression has many different facets, and affects not only someone's mood, but often also their ability to function normally. Many depressed people experience impaired memory, difficulty concentrating, and confused thought processes. Some people experience what seems like unbearable noise or pain in their head which is purely mental (not the product of a headache, etc.). It can become impossible to speak or smile normally. Obviously, depression is much more complicated than a passing mood. If you are just starting out in gathering information about depression, you might want to start with

Treatment Strategies Links Email Mama Helping Your Depressed Child How to Tell If Your Child Is Depressed by Nancy Riggins-Hume LCSW nhume@pacbell.net Depression among children is a serious problem. Many children suffer from undiagnosed depression. With adults, depression symptoms tend to be straightforward and easily detected. Some children may have such obvious symptoms as constant sadness, lack of energy, lack of interest in previously pleasurable activities, inability to concentrate (not related to ADHD), being either unable to sleep, or sleeping too much, lack of appetite or overeating. Other children's symptoms may be very different. A child suffering from depression can be defiant, angry, aggressive, anxious, or withdrawn. She may have nightmares, be afraid to be away from her parents or withdraw from them, not want to go to school, and her grades may drop. She may complain that no one likes her, or that she doesn't have any friends. A child who begins giving away her possessions may be suicidal. Any time a child talks about dying or killing herself, take her seriously. If a child is having these symptoms, it is vital that her doctor evaluate her. There are physical problems that can cause depression. After a thorough medical evaluation, if she does not have any physical problems, talking to her teacher(s) can be helpful. Getting feedback from school about how she is behaving in class, and how she gets along with her peers can give additional perspective on her symptoms.
