81. Counseling And Psychotherapy In Vancouver. 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.

82. Depression In Children And Adolescents Diagnosis and treatment of childhood and adolescent depression. http://www.athealth.com/Consumer/disorders/ChildDepression.html

At Health, Inc. Find a Therapist Click here 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 July 2004) Not 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

This year on May 3, NMHA has expanded the observance to include other serious childhood mental health problems such as bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Mental disorders in children are just as real, common and treatable as they are in adults. Left untreated, children's mental health disorders can lead to problems at home, trouble in school and in the community, substance abuse and even suicide. In fact, depression affects as many as one in every 33 children and one in eight adolescents , according to the federal Center for Mental Health Services.

Understanding And Dealing With Depression (ages 6 to 12 yrs. old) By: Michael G. Conner, Psy.D Depression is one of the most common psychological/psychiatric disorders. It affects a person's overall energy, mood, expressions of emotion and behavior. Depression is commonly referred to as a Mood Disorder. Emotion is what you are feeling at a given moment. How you feel over a long period of time is your mood. An estimated 1 out of 10 children have difficulty escaping the symptoms of depression for long periods of time. The rate of depression is markedly lower (1%) in children ages 1 to 6 years old. The rate is higher in older children ages 9 to 12 years (12%).

However, a child's mental and emotional needs may not be as obvious. Good mental health allows children to think clearly, develop socially and learn new skills. Additionally, good friends and encouraging words from adults are all important for helping children develop self confidence, high self-esteem, and a healthy emotional outlook on life."

While it is fairly well known to the general public that clinical depression is common (sometimes referred to as "the common cold of mental illness"), affecting 10 to 15 % of the adult population at some point in life, it is not commonly known that depression in childhood is also a major health problem. In fact, depression in children is arguably more significant of an issue that is adult depression. For example, about 5% of children at any given time suffer from clinical depression; this naturally occurs during critical phases in child development, and not only can show itself with behaviors and feelings not commonly viewed as part of a "depression," but can interfere with the normal developmental processes of childhood.

DEPRESSION: DANGEROUS AND OVERLOOKED Depression is dangerous. It distorts normal perceptions, causes behavior changes and can result in self-mutilation or suicide. It is not uncommon in children, but, for many reasons, it often escapes diagnosis. Depression was not even recognized as a childhood disease by the psychiatric profession until 1980. Before that time, it was commonly believed that children could not suffer from depression. What, after all, could a child in a healthy family and community environment be depressed about? DSM-IV , the “Bible” of the psychiatric profession, which identifies symptoms of mental illnesses, recognizes that children can be depressed. Nevertheless, depression is frequently overlooked as a diagnosis by the health care profession. Among possible reasons are these: The historic denia l that depression exists in children.

The Depression Experience Journal is a collection of stories, pictures, and personal experiences from families about what it has been like to live with depression in a child or an adolescent. It represents the "collective wisdom" of these families as well as their health care providers. We welcome family members to enter and explore the Depression Experience Journal. The journal has the following chapters: Sharing Our Stories . Parents tell about their experience facing Depression in their children. The Children Speak . Children and teenagers as well as young adults tell their stories about Depression. One Family's Dialogue . The voices and pictures of one family's journey. . Insight and advice from Dr. William R. Beardslee, national expert on child and adolescent depression. Words of Wisdom . Advice and coping strategies. The Clinicians . Thoughts and ideas from Children's Hospital Boston doctors and therapists. We know that there may be some emotional discomfort associated with reading the stories of children and parents describing their experience dealing with depression. Nonetheless, we know that families learn from the stories of others facing similar experiences. The hope and goal of the Depression Experience Journal lies in facilitating the strength and resiliency that lies in every child and family that faces adversity.

School tardiness or absence becomes frequent, and grades drop. A parent cannot seem to “get through” to a child to discuss what’s wrong, and tension in the family rises. Does my child have a mental disorder? The question is difficult, even frightening, for a parent to voice. Understandably, it is easier to overlook or explain away subtle signs of illness that may occur periodically at worst and are set against the rapid changes of childhood or the turmoil of adolescence. “It’s just a phase.” “He’ll grow out of it.” “She’s under a lot of stress.” “We need to assure him that we love him.” “No one in our family has a mental illness.” Yet the concern that sparks a parent’s question may be justified. One in five American children and adolescents has a mental or behavioral disorder that interferes with their ability to learn in school or to establish healthy relationships with family members and friends. For one in 10 youngsters, a mental disorder will lead to moderate to severe impairment in one or more facets of their life.
