What is Depression?
Depression is a common illness that severely limits psychosocial functioning and diminishes the quality of life. As with most conditions, Depression can be mild or severe and often fluctuates depending on circumstances. For those suffering from depression, existence and everyday life may seem futile.

Some symptoms of depression are listed below:
- Low Self-esteem
- Feeling tearful
- Frequent low moods or sadness
- Feeling numb (lack of enjoyment)
- Experience suicidal thoughts or self-harm
And many more…

It is increasingly important to understand depression, its symptoms, and treatments to help yourself or others. Depression is a disorder that can be reliably diagnosed and treated in primary care. The greatest thing you can do for yourself, or a loved one, is seeking medical help and support from accredited professionals like ourselves.

“I suffer from anxiety and it feels like an impending doom. In a room full of people, I am tricked into thinking everyone is looking and laughing at me. I sometimes feel on-edge, nervous or tense. It can be psychological or physical. Uncertainty will loom and fester in my mind.”
