North Carolina Triangle Area Psychotherapist Now Accepting New Patients For Depression Therapy

CHAPEL HILL, NC -- Renowned North Carolina psychotherapist Barry K. Selman, LCSW has announced that he is now accepting new patients for depression therapy in the Triangle area. Difficult economic times do not only negatively impact people financially; they can also create a high level of emotional stress and life uncertainty, which frequently leads to depression. Selman's Chapel Hill/Durham depression counseling sessions help people effectively work through difficult emotions and emerge with a positive long-term outlook for personal growth.

Triangle area psychotherapist Barry Selman has helped adults, adolescents and couples rebuild their lives in a healthy, positive environment for more than 25 years. As a resident of Chapel Hill for the past decade, Selman concentrates his practice in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area.

Selman's Chapel Hill psychotherapy practice is located just minutes from the Durham city border, conveniently on Legion Road just off of I-40. Offering a wide range of services, from couples counseling, coaching and consulting to depression and addiction recovery therapy, Selman has helped countless North Carolina residents find satisfaction and joy in their personal and professional lives.

"The current recession is one of the most difficult times that many people are facing today. My goal is to support and nurture people in need, helping them make the choice to free themselves from depression and continue to enjoy life to its fullest," says Selman. (http://www.barrykselman.com)

The Archives of General Psychiatry reports that more than 14.8 million American adults suffer from a major depressive disorder throughout any given year. Due to negative economic conditions, Selman anticipates this number is currently significantly above the national average.

Selman emphasizes that is important for people to monitor their families and friends during this economic crisis to determine if any loved ones exhibit signs of depression. Common signs of depression to look for include:

• Even after a full night of rest, feeling emotionally and physically drained
• Unable to sleep, or sleeping excessive amounts
• Unusual avoidance of contact and communication with others
• Belief that life is pointless
• Thoughts of harming yourself or other people

Although depression can be a terrifying and painful experience, those people suffering can successfully overcome their condition through constructive depression counseling and depression therapy sessions. In some cases, medication is needed to temporarily relieve serious symptoms.

"Through depression therapy sessions, I work closely with my clients, helping them make positive daily changes, which often alleviates the depression and brings joy back into their life," concludes Selman.
