🤍Depression is the most reported mental health challenge today. If you’re struggling, understanding where it’s coming from can be the first step toward feeling better.
Here are the three core categories that usually contribute:
Psychological Negative thought loops like “I’m worthless,” “nothing will ever change,” constant rumination, and learned helplessness.
Physiological Imbalances in serotonin & dopamine, chronic high cortisol, brain inflammation, reduced hippocampus size, poor sleep — your brain literally gets wired for sadness when under prolonged stress.
Social Childhood trauma, loneliness, breakups, bullying, poverty, discrimination, or endless social-media comparison — when life feels unsafe, isolating, or meaningless.
Most people aren’t dealing with just one of these — it’s usually a mix. Knowing which areas are hitting you hardest helps you choose the right kind of help.
If this resonates or you have questions, drop a comment or DM — happy to talk.

EMDR is one of the modalities used at Deron Brown Counseling. This therapeutic approach, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps properly process past trauma in the mind, preventing individuals from reliving past events as if they are happening again. If you’re struggling with depression or anxiety due to past trauma, consider trying EMDR. For more information or to schedule a session, contact me via Messenger (Deron Brown Counseling) or email deronbrowncounseling@yahoo.com.

Here is an interesting study from JAMA Psychiatry (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/2784694) on treating chronic back pain with Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT). In the study, 50 participants underwent PRT, and after just four weeks, 33 of them—66%—reported either reduced pain or no pain at all. This really underscores the powerful role psychology can play in how we experience pain.

I’ve been certified in PRT since 2022, and I’ve seen firsthand how it can help reframe pain as a non-threatening sensation, breaking the cycle of fear that often makes chronic pain worse. If you’re living with chronic pain, I highly encourage you to give PRT a try—it could be a game-changer.

This randomized clinical trial tests whether pain reprocessing therapy can provide durable and substantial relief from chronic back pain and investigates treatment mechanisms.
