Depression:
Depression is both common and complex with many different causes and presents itself in many different ways. Depression is estimated to affect between 1 in 4 people, who at some time in their lives will require treatment. Depression can effect each individual in different ways but the common factors where a person is experiencing depression include low self-esteem, low motivation, feelings of hopelessness, anger and self-defeating behaviours. Overcoming depression can be helped through counselling & psychotherapy where both yourself and your therapist will discuss what might be the best form of treatment in overcoming and managing depression.
