Description

A professional will give verbal commands and help the client resolve some of their subconscious thoughts that may be contributing to a mental health or behavioral concern. Depression is a serious mood disorder that affects how someone thinks, feels, and handles daily activities. There are many forms of the condition, but common symptoms include: persistent anxious or sad mood irritability loss of interest difficulty concentrating or sleeping Hypnosis is an effective method of alleviating the symptoms of depression. Those with major depression have a decreased heart rate variability (HRV) — the variation in the time between consecutive heartbeats. According to one study, HRV significantly increases hypnosis, which may mean the technique could treat depression. However, the researchers used a very small sample size, so scientists need to carry out more studies to confirm these findings.
