Experiencing feelings of unhappiness, sadness and disappointment at times is normal. However, you should seek depression counselling if your symptoms are severe, last for several weeks or interfere with your work and social life.

• Helplessness
• Hopelessness
• Self-blame
• Overwhelming feelings of sadness or grief
• Disappointment
• Emptiness
• Unreasonable guilt

• Thoughts of death or suicide

Physical symptoms include:

• Sleeping more or less than normal
• Eating more or less than normal
• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
• Loss of interest in taking part in activities
• Decreased sex drive
• Loss of energy, feeling very tired

Treatment

Depression is often very treatable. Treatment can include psychological counselling and therapy, medication (such as anti-depressants) or a combination of the two. In addition support from family, friends and self-help groups can make a big impact in a person’s recovery. For some people, bouts of depression will recur, while for others it may not.
