Anxiety and Depression

Anxiety is a normal response to life events. Anxiety becomes abnormal when it is present without a stressful event, or after the event has resolved. It is also normal to experience depression, in grief for example, but when and it is impacting your day-to-day life, it can be helpful to speak to a mental health professional.

What to expect from your visit to Harley Row

STEP 1
Diagnosis
Every patient’s journey begins with diagnosis. For adults, these assessments can take place virtually or face-to-face. The diagnosis process will include a detailed evaluation of the individual’s behavioural, developmental, and medical history, genealogy, social functioning, and lifestyle.
STEP 2
Treatment
‍From the results of your diagnosis, mental health treatment takes a series of simultaneous paths that vary depending on your needs. Treatment takes a three-fold approach: medication to treat symptoms when and if needed, and a longer-term combination of psychological intervention and functional medicine.
STEP 3
Ongoing Support

We encourage you to speak confidentially about your current symptoms and discuss how comprehensive treatment could be the positive change you need to overcome your disorder. Anxiety and depression don’t need to be a continual stress in your life. A holistic and comprehensive anxiety and depression treatment can help you feel yourself again.

Anxiety Online Assessment

Overview

‍The questions to answer in the assessments are entered anonymously. You are not required to provide any contact information to receive your results. The assessments results are visual and detailed, providing information and assessment across multiple, different risk areas related to anxiety. The responses you provide are compared to those provided by individuals who have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder to determine risk level.

 

Note: The brief questionnaires are not substitutes for a professional evaluation by a trained clinician.

Treatment takes a three-fold approach: medication to treat symptoms when and if needed, and a longer-term combination of psychological intervention and functional medicine.

 

Medication can play a key role in providing relief from the symptoms of mental health problems. However, speaking to a counsellor or psychotherapist who will listen to you and support you to find your own answers to the problems you are facing, without any judgement, can be highly beneficial.


Psychological intervention plays a crucial role in promoting positive mental health. Talking about your experiences in a safe and supportive environment can make a world of difference. Treatment is carried out within an unrushed, stigma-free atmosphere and is part of a tailored treatment plan.


When treating anxiety and depression, therapy can be a good idea for its long-term benefits. Harley Row Clinic offers a range of treatment options, including counselling or psychotherapy, coaching and mindfulness training to improve mental health and enhance well-being. Therapy generally take place on a weekly basis, but this can be adapted to your treatment plan.

 

‍Psychotherapy or “talking therapy” sessions can help people with anxiety disorders and depression. To be effective, psychotherapy must be directed at your specific anxieties and tailored to your needs. It can be effective in reducing anxiety, finding coping strategies to promote self-care and improving feelings of self-worth.

 

‍When it comes to treating depression, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (MCBT) can be particularly helpful. MCBT is a therapy which combats habits that make your depression worse. It combines traditional cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with mindfulness. It is a treatment which supports the identification of negative thought patterns, and limiting patterns of behaviour and supports progression towards healthier habits. Mindfulness is the practice of training attention and awareness, in an attitude of self-acceptance. This therapy can help promote relaxation and combat depression.

Compassionate Inquiry therapy helps individuals gain insight into their current behaviours and beliefs, thinking about what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world. And finally, having the support of others going through similar experiences in a Group therapy setting can increase feelings of hope and morale.

Finally, functional medicine seeks to identify the underlying cause of mental health issues. Anxiety and depression can be associated with physical illnesses and Harley Row Clinic investigates these dysfunctions and looks into other treatments. For example, there are physical conditions such as hyperthyroidism, and dysfunctions of the adrenal glands. Addressing a disbalance of the microbiota (the bacteria that we all have in our guts) through a balanced diet specific to your gut can calm anxiety.

Treatment plans are carefully devised and highly individualised and usually include a combination of dietary modifications, nutritional supplements, alternative therapies, lifestyle changes and stress management techniques.

Treatment plans are carefully devised and highly individualised and usually include a combination of dietary modifications, nutritional supplements, alternative therapies, lifestyle changes and stress management techniques. Serotonin levels and other neurotransmitters play a central role in the development of depression. Studies have shown that vitamin deficiencies including but not only vitamin B12, Folate or vitamin D contribute to the regulation of serotonin and other neurotransmitters that are closely associated with this condition.
