Depression

Highly Experienced Counsellors
Medicare Rebates, After Hours and Weekend Appointments Available

Depression can interfere with relationships, work, and study, causing enormous distress to the individual, their family and friends. Although a depressed person may experience sadness, lowered mood or hopelessness, they may also appear angry, or they may seem smiley and deny anything is wrong.

The statistics are sobering:

  • Depression is the 4th largest, costliest, and most debilitating disease in the world
  • 1 in 6 adults suffer from depression
  • 1 in 5 young people will have experienced significant depressive symptoms by age 18
  • 15% of depressed people will suicide

Many people are ashamed or embarrassed to admit they feel low. Others may experience depression as a loss of pleasure or reduced interest in their usual activities.

Psychologists help a person suffering depression to discover the source of the problem and understand the contributing factors. Counseling allows a client to work through issues, raise their mood, to develop strategies to increase well-being, and assist them to resume normal functioning.
