Interpersonal therapy techniques that solves all addiction worries

Interpersonal therapy techniques: Individual different circumstances

When opting for the ITP (interpersonal therapy) it is important to note that all the therapy sessions will differ according to the individual circumstances, nonetheless, doctor Dalal Akoury, MD registers that there are certain techniques that can be very useful with interpersonal therapy. Some of these techniques may include:

Emotions Identification – For some of us, accurately identifying the emotion we’re feeling can be difficult. An interpersonal therapist will look to help you identify emotions from an unbiased perspective.

Expression of emotion – This involves helping you to express your emotions in a more healthy way.

Dealing with issues from the past – Sometimes relationships you had in the past can affect the way you interact in the present. Part of your therapy may involve looking into your past to see if any patterns have formed.

Areas of strength of IPT therapy

As had been indicated in our previous discussions, interpersonal therapy deals primarily with the way we interact with people around us. Therefore doctor Akoury registers with us that the following are some types of concerns that are normally addressed within IPT therapy:

Interpersonal disputes

Such disputes can occur in a variety of settings, including family, social, marital, school or work place disputes. Normally they arise from differing expectations of a certain situation. If these types of conflicts cause significant distress, they are worth addressing within therapy.

Transitions experiences

This refers to a change in circumstance, whether this is due to job change at work, a change in relationship status or a life event that requires you to adapt. These changes can be experienced as losses, leading to depression or anxiety.

Grief or bereavements

Losing a loved one comes with many challenges are readjustments. The feelings of grief and loss are entirely natural. However in the event that the duration of grief is delayed or considered to last beyond the ‘normal’ time for bereavement, this can be a serious topic of discussion during therapy.

Interpersonal therapy techniques: Interpersonal therapy for depression

Recommended by the NHS and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) interpersonal therapy is considered especially useful for those with depression. Studies suggest that a course of interpersonal therapy can be at least as effective as short-term treatment with antidepressants.

Finally and quite originally interpersonal therapy was developed to help adults with depression, but it has also been shown to be effective in treating depression in adolescents and children. As depression is typically a recurring condition, those affected are advised to supplement their interpersonal therapy with an ongoing form of maintenance. This means that alongside your interpersonal therapy sessions, you may be invited to ongoing monthly sessions to reinforce adjustments learnt in IPT therapy. Therefore it will benefits you most to continually consult with doctor Akoury from time to time in all matters of great concerns in this treatment approach.

Depression and the Connection to Substance Abuse

Depression and the connection to substance abuse: Understanding the two conditions

Depression and the Connection to Substance Abuse

Depression and the Connection to Substance Abuse are realistically dangerous in any human life

We are at it again and this is because of the ever increasing concerns raised across the globe about the significance of depression and the connection to substance abuse. Professionals at the home of experts (AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center) are very concern at the effects of clinical depression and how it can take a toll on the body, mind and spirit causing physical health problems as well as a profound sense of hopelessness and despair. This is one health element that can ruin a whole society if not addressed in good time. And because of the increasing demand for health information about this two unique problems, we are going to be discussing this topic yet again to further give insight of the precautions that you can take to be safe of this devastating health condition.

According to doctor Dalal Akoury (MD) a veteran expert in addiction and also the founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center, the effects of depression can be felt primarily on a physical level in the form of sleeplessness, weight changes, inactivity and substance abuse. Doctor Akoury is confirming that from the available statistics it is true that the problem of alcohol consumption and drug abuse are more common with depressed individuals than in the general population. Besides that we can further make some confirmations from different bodies who are researching on the possible links between depression and addiction, like for instance according to QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, men diagnosed with major depression are nearly three times more likely to develop a dependence on alcohol, while women with depression are over four times more likely to become alcohol-dependent.

Depressive disorders affect the health and productivity of the general population as well as the life of the individual. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that major depressive disorder affects almost 7 percent of American adults and that is almost 15 million people, while dysthymic disorder affects 1.5 percent, and yet again the World Health Organization has also noted that depression is one of the leading causes of disability around the globe further giving us more reason to act swiftly. The expert’s at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury are reporting that if not addressed promptly, substance abuse can worsen the course of depressive disorder by increasing the risk of outcomes such as:

  • Drug or alcohol addiction
  • Psychiatric hospitalization
  • Suicide attempts
  • Accidental or intentional overdose

Individuals who are diagnosed with depression and a substance use disorder are more likely to drop out of conventional substance abuse treatment programs before they finish rehab. They are also more likely to relapse once they start a treatment program. Therefore it is important that the treatment for these co-occurring disorders should be done effectively and must target both conditions in order for the patient to achieve long-lasting recovery.

Depression and the connection to substance abuse: Recognizing depressive disorders

When dealing with situations like the two before us, it is very important that we are well informed of each of them so that we are able to make a distinction. Therefore the question that follows would be “how can you distinguish between depression as a psychiatric disorder and the blue moods that we all experience at times?” This is very necessary because with clinical depression, the severity of these moods is more intense, and symptoms last for longer periods of time. In order to meet the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder, the individual must experience at least five symptoms of depression for two or more weeks. The following are some of the typical depressive symptoms to watch over:

  • A predominantly low mood on most days of the week
  • Lack of interest in favorite activities
  • Physical exhaustion
  • Sleeping too much or too little
  • Unwanted weight loss or gain
  • Sluggish thinking or movements
  • Dwindling to focus on important tasks
  • Contemplations of death or suicide
  • Feelings of guilt, hopelessness or worthlessness

Dysthymic disorder, a milder form of depression, is characterized by less severe symptoms persisting for two years or more. People with dysthymic disorder may seem chronically unhappy, irritable or sullen. While the symptoms of this disorder may be less noticeable than major depression, however the effects can persist for years. One of the major challenges about this situation is that many individuals who are struggling with dysthymic are actually not aware that they have a psychiatric disorder. It is therefore important to note that when faces with such circumstances, then only a qualified professional either a clinician, a doctor, psychologist or psychiatrist can make an official diagnosis of major depressive disorder. However, by learning to recognize the symptoms of this debilitating condition, you and your loved ones can prevent serious consequences like self-isolation, addiction and suicide. We understand that some of these problems may not go down well with many of us and that is why we are open always to offer our professional help to all members of the public of all walks of life. You can call doctor Akoury on Tel:  843 213 1480 to schedule for an appointment with her for a more consultative season and have all your concerns addressed professionally.

Depression and the Connection to Substance Abuse: How does depression begin?

It is common knowledge that ignorant is a very costly affair meaning that in our case study we must get all the information we need about depression and addiction for us to be able to understand and make the right decision. While addressing the question “how does depression begin?” Doctor Akoury registered that depressive disorders can arise from a number of different sources or from a combination of factors. And the following are some of the most common contributing causes for your consumption:

  • Stressful situations that aren’t easily resolved, such as divorce, the death of a loved one, or a serious injury or illness
  • Physical health problems, such as heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, cancer, or alcoholism
  • A genetic predisposition to depression, or depressive moods in close family members
  • An imbalance of chemicals that regulate mood and energy levels, such as serotonin, dopamine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)
  • Structural abnormalities in the areas of the brain that regulate mood and memory

Finally imaging studies have shown that depression is linked to specific regions of the brain, and that these areas appear to be different in people with depressive disorders. Harvard Medical School points out that the hippocampus amygdala and thalamus may be smaller or function less efficiently in people with depression. We will however continue with this theory of Harvard Medical School in our subsequent discussions but in the meantime, if you or any one you know is struggling with depression or substance abuse, then it is important for you to seek for immediate help from the experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center today without delay.
