Depression

We all feel sad from time to time. It is after all a healthy human emotion. However, when sadness becomes accompanied with feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness or numbness, the sadness has likely morphed into depression.

Depression often affects how you feel, think, and behave, which can lead to many emotional and physical problems.

Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders. We can support you in regaining clarity and awareness and empower you to treat your depression and enjoy life again.
