What is Depression

Depression is said to effect 1 in 6 men and 1 in 4 women in Australia – making it one of the most prevalent mental illness in the modern era. It can be very difficult to identify at its early stages and the onset can be varying in speed; making a certain diagnosis often a difficult thing to achieve. When one is depressed their mood changes and behaviours can become dulled or even erratic – ranging from lack of energy and a withdrawn personality to more aggressive acts such as substance abuse and anger.

Get Help with Depression

There are quite a variety of proposed treatments for depression – some of them are quite helpful and some can be more detrimental to your health. If you were to go at almost any General Practitioner in Australia and receive a diagnosis of depression they will often jump straight to a prescription of a chemical medication such as Sertraline (commonly Zoloft). It is important to understand that a chemical or anti-depressant treatment, while it can be helpful to some, it is rarely a complete solution to the problem and most medical practitioners will agree that it is just one step towards a cure. This is more often that not, a journey itself. Anti-depressants can come with a variety of side effects including suicidal thoughts, worsening of depression, loss of sexual function, nausea, sleepiness and more.
