Do I Have Depression

​Have you ever wondered why you do not have any energy anymore, and why is it you do not want to get out of bed in the morning?
 
There are many people who ask themselves this question. They are not sure if their diet is inadequate and maybe they just have an iron deficiency.
 
Do your family and friends wonder why you don’t want to attend family get-togethers or even a gossip over a cup of coffee?

​Does it seem just too hard to make the effort to get dressed in the mornings, get into the car and go?
 
Maybe you are depressed, and if so depression is not a dirty word.
 
There are so many different forms of depression and mental health issues. Nearly all people will experience some form of mental health or depression symptoms at one point or another in their life.

​Depression In Adults And Children

Depression can affect people of all ages from children through to adults. When depression is recognised early, the correct treatment can support positive outcomes for those people whose daily lives are a struggle dealing with the debilitating symptoms of this mental health issue.
 
Are you a little concerned about one of your children? 

​What Causes Symptoms of Depression?

​There are so many situations that can trigger some form of depression in our children.
Have you recently separated from your spouse, moved house or changed the school your child attends?
 
These things are often related to the onset of the symptoms of depression in our children.
