Depression
Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Also called major depressive disorder or clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. I am able to help you recover from all that.
Anxiety
Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure. People with anxiety disorders usually have recurring intrusive thoughts or concerns. They may avoid certain situations out of worry. I can help you overcome that.

• Remove any dangerous items, e.g. guns, knives, ropes, medication or any other thing that the person may use to cause harm to themselves
• Contact the nearest clinic/ hospital
