Depression

Depression affects around 1 in 8 Australian men and 1 in 6 women. Everyone experiences ups and downs, but depression can develop when the low periods last longer than expected and don’t seem to lift despite our best efforts.

Depression can make it hard to stay connected with others or focus on important parts of life like work or study. You might lose interest in activities you once enjoyed, find it difficult to concentrate, or become more easily stressed or agitated. Feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness are common, and in some cases, people may experience thoughts of self-harm or suicide.

At Adaptive, we provide a safe and supportive space to help you understand and manage depression. Our psychologists work with you to:

• Identify patterns of thought and behaviour that maintain low mood

• Build practical coping strategies to improve motivation and daily functioning

• Strengthen emotional resilience and self-compassion

• Reconnect with activities and relationships that bring meaning and fulfilment

Depression can make you feel stuck, but recovery is possible with the right support and guidance.
