New MySelfHelp.com Symptom Selector Feature Helps Subscribers with Symptoms of Depression

December 17 2003--MySelfHelp.com has implemented a new Symptom Selector section in its Defeating Depression program that provides immediate help for subscribers experiencing difficulty with specific symptoms.

“Each person who suffers from depression experiences his or her own unique set of symptoms,” said Richard Bedrosian, Ph.D., president of MySelfHelp.com. “Moreover, depression often goes hand in hand with other mental health problems, such as anxiety disorders, addictions, and eating disorders. As a result, each person may need to focus on different symptoms and issues in order to begin to feel better.”

While many subscribers work through the Defeating Depression program based on a predetermined path outlined in the program tutorial or by the subscriber’s therapist, the Symptom Selector provides an alternative method of addressing and relieving symptoms that are causing a great deal of difficulty for the subscriber.

Symptoms covered in this section include painful emotions (such as sadness, irritability, anger, etc.); problems with sleep, appetite, or eating; problems with energy, boredom, or motivation; loss of sexual interest; difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions; and problems with self-confidence or self-esteem.
