Depression Counselling

Depression Counselling Southport, Gold Coast.

Everyone feels sad or down from time to time but depression is different. Depression may be present, if for two weeks or more, a person has felt sad, down or miserable most of the time or has lost interest or pleasure in usual activities.

It may be a combination of behaviours, feelings, physical symptoms and thoughts. Some of the signs and symptoms of depression include:
