RWPsychology provide psychological help for Depression in Milperra.
Depression is a serious mental health issue where sadness, low moods or a sense of ’emptiness’ can last weeks, months and sometimes years.
Unfortunately many people who are suffering depression go undiagnosed and untreated. Our psychologists are skilled in being able to identify symptoms, and can provide professional psychological treatment.
There is no single cause for depression. In some individuals, stress such as the loss of a job, unemployment, physical health issues, family problems, the death of a loved one, or the end of a relationship might trigger depression. For other people, there is no obvious cause.
What Are The Symptoms?
- Sense of sadness or emptiness
- Low mood for most of the day, nearly every day
- Loss of interest in almost all activities, even activities usually enjoyed
- Thoughts of self harm or suicide
- Thoughts of uselessness, worthlessness, hopelessness or inappropriate guilt
- Lack of energy
- Marked increase or decrease in appetite and associated weight loss or weight gain
- Severe changes in sleep
- Decreased motivation
- Difficulty making decisions
