How to Cope With Seasonal Depression (No Matter How Dark and Gloomy It Is!)
Boreal Therapy Collective offers therapy for seasonal depression (seasonal affective disorder). Learn how to cope with the dark and cold gloomy months by getting more time outside, staying connected with friends, prioritizing your physical health, getting consistent sleep, and reaching out for medical support (if needed).
What Depression Is (And What It Isn't)
Boreal Therapy Collective offers an overview of depression including the symptoms of depressive disorders, the various types of depressive and mood disorders, the causes of depression, and treatment options for depression, including cognitive behavioural therapy and play-based therapy. We suggest seeking professional support if you or a loved one is struggling with depression.
Understanding Self-Harm
Boreal Therapy Collective explains the reasons behind self-harm behaviour. Reasons include tension release, seeking control, self-punishment, compulsive behaviour, peer pressure, using physical pain to cope with emotional pain, a way to cope with mental health challenges, and low self-esteem. We recommend reaching out to a therapist for support to navigate self-harm behaviour as soon as possible.
