Shout It Loud

Anger is an emotion that is bad for someone and so is depression.But they seem to be on opposite sides.  One of the emotions can be very visible. While the other one can be unnoticed.

As a family therapist San Diego I have seen both emotions. Both of them if too serious need addressing.  They are not issues you can leave alone and hope to go way.If you are angry you might cause pain physically or emotionally to other people.You can harm yourself if depressed.

Let’s talk about anger first. Anger is an unsteady emotion.It is a natural emotion which is experienced by all of us.But sometimes people let it all out without consideration.  Sometimes it seems uncontrollable.  And if you let it get away from you, it can be.But those times are the times when you must suppress it.Other people can be hurt physically or emotionally due to anger.  If it gets too much you need to seek some anger management counseling.

The next emotion is called depression.It is not like anger because it can be unnoticeable.The main reason is because most people hold in their depression.But it will get noticed eventually. When it becomes noticeable, then that would be the time that someone have to seek professional help.  Why would someone need professional help?Because harm can be done by a severely depressed person to himself or herself.  So it is dangerous because people hide it.  If a person gets to the point of severe depression they need professional help such as depression counseling.

It is hard when dealing with emotional problems.Most people undergoing these problems feel like they can overcome it on their own.  Or they feel like they don’t want anybody trying to help them.But that is the time when they need help the most.It is unacceptable for them.But if you are dealing with these kinds of emotions which can be dangerous to the patient and others then you have to.
