Low Mood and Loss of Interest
Weeks of low mood, loss of interest, fatigue and hopelessness.
In low mood a person drifts from things they once enjoyed, loses energy and finds it hard to look to the future with hope. This is not a weakness of will; it improves with support and treatment.
What happens in therapy?
Work proceeds through behavioural activation, restructuring negative thought patterns and relationship work. For moderate-to-severe symptoms a psychiatric assessment is recommended. If you have thoughts of harming yourself, please call 112.
