What is Depression?

Understanding Depression

Depression is the most common mental health condition in Australia, affecting people of all ages and walks of life. Nearly one in two Australians will experience a mental illness in their lifetime, and depression accounts for a significant part of this.

Depression is more than just feeling sad; it can impact your thoughts, energy, sleep, relationships, and daily functioning. While stigma has improved in recent years, many people still delay seeking help. Early intervention with psychological treatment can make a profound difference in recovery and long-term wellbeing.
