There are times when our mood is low in response to life stressors or transitions that we can’t seem to come to terms with, at least temporarily. Examples could include a new job, moving to a new neighbourhood or a car accident. A depressive response that seems out of proportion to the life event may be a sign of an adjustment disorder. Adjustment disorders can be either acute (less than 6 months) or chronic (greater than 6 months).
If you feel stuck or trapped by a major event in your life, counselling can help! Together we can look for new perspectives and solutions toward overcome your current difficulties. I welcome your phone call or email.
