Depression Therapy Adelaide
Sometimes daily struggles can begin to take their toll, and it can be difficult to see the sun behind the clouds that are closing in. Whilst everybody can have a blue day, when the blues become difficult to bear and doesn't let up, it is time to seek help. You don't have to bear this alone.
Depression doesn’t discriminate. It can happen to people of any age, any background, and any gender. It’s a difficult, and often debilitating condition that affects an average of 1 in 6 women and 1 in 8 men across Australia.
Therapy for Depression can Help
Depression can make an otherwise healthy person feel sad, tired, withdrawn and lonely. It often affects a person's confidence, and tends to make a person avoid socialising. The general feeling of hopelessness and withdrawal, can make reaching out for much needed help even harder. It can be difficult to understand when to seek out help or know who to ask. We understand that taking the first step requires courage, and want to make it as easy as possible for you. If its easier for you, you can communicate with us online, or even have your therapy sessions online.
It’s important to understand that help is available, and often the first step towards treating depression is speaking to a professional. With Kensington Psychology & Well-Being’s depression counselling, compassionate and effective help is at hand.
You may want to get a referral and a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, to have Medicare help pay for your treatment. Our Psychologists have worked with clients throughout Norwood, Kensington, Adelaide, as well as interstate to assist them to better understand and manage their mental health through depression counselling.

Identifying the Signs and Symptoms of Depression
Depression is mainly characterised by a sad or irritable mood lasting for at least two weeks, a loss of interest in activities that were previously found pleasurable, and strong feelings of guilt, hopelessness, and worthlessness.
Other symptoms of depression include appetite changes, too much or too little sleep, poor motivation, increased anger levels, low energy, difficulty concentrating, and memory problems. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for depressive individuals to become socially withdrawn, lose interest in sex, have strained relationships, and even have suicidal ideation.
