Did you know that 75% of first depressions are caused by stress? Though there is a popular notion that depression is genetic, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) conducted a meta-analysis of 25 studies of 14,000 people.Result: There is no risk of depression due to genetics, it is due to events. (NOTE: this does not apply to bipolar depression, which does have a genetic basis, though it too, must be triggered by stress for the first episode.
Because EMDR is designed to treat memories that are dysfunctionally stored (with negative beliefs and feelings and sensations) it also works well for depression and anxiety. In addition to clearing specific traumas, it is important to treat the trauma of severe depressions, and the fear of depression returning. This can help people in ways that amaze them.
