Depression doesn’t discriminate anyone a depressed mind or mood is something most of us will experience at some point in our lives. We all feel low and melancholic sometimes, often in response to different stressors. If you’ve been feeling a bit numb or disconnected, and a low vibe has clouded your sense of self, purpose and joy in life, it’s important to find a different perspective moving forward. Despite how depression makes you feel, you’re not alone. Over one million people in Australia are experiencing depression right now. According to a study 1 in 7 Australians will have a depressive episode at least once in their lifetime. According to a well known clinical psychologist Ellen Hendriksen, up to 50% of people experiencing depression may also be managing symptoms of anxiety. Yet many people feel apprehensive or unwilling talking about depression – especially if there’s no particular reason for them to be feeling depressed. So don’t worry we at talkspace369 understand this feeling and try to get you out of it with our support.
