Depression
Depression can colour how we see the world, ourselves and other people. Activities that used to be fun are not fun, and we might lose our sense of meaning, purpose and motivation. We want you to know there is hope, even if you cannot fully feel it. We can work together to support you in developing skills to improve your mood while simultaneously addressing the roots of your depression.
