Everyone feels low at times. Depression is different. When a person is depressed, they have a number of symptoms that linger for most of the day, for more than 2 weeks. These symptoms are distressing and disturb a person's life. If a person has five or more of these symptoms, most of the day, for more than 2 weeks, they may be given a diagnosis of 'Major Depressive Disorder'.
During exposure therapy, a person identifies a fear they want to conquer (e.g. a fear of public speaking). Then, they come with tasks they can do to overcome that fear. They start with easy tasks first e.g. Exposure can be done in different ways. Some people start with the easy tasks first, before working up to the medium and difficult ones.
Finding a psychologist can be difficult. There are a lot of them around and many use different approaches to treat different conditions. One thing to look out for when looking for a psychologist is the treatment approach. The therapy that a psychologist practices should be something that has been proven to work.
