Symptoms of depression:
One in seven Australians will experience depression in their lifetime. Depression can have a terrible impact upon people; from feeling bad about yourself, to having difficulty getting motivated. It can also create problems engaging in and maintain satisfying relationships.
Other symptoms might include:
– persistent low mood
– feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, guilt and pessimism
– struggling to find joy in activities you once enjoyed
– changes to appetite and sleep (over or under)
– thoughts of suicide
It’s common for depression to co-occur with other mental health conditions such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, substance abuse and more. At the Centre for Clinical Psychology in Melbourne, our team are skilled at helping in this situation too.
