Understanding Depression
Half-day workshop
Depression is a word which is often used to explain periods when we are feeling ‘low’, ‘sad’ or a bit ‘blue’. ‘Feeling low’ is something most people experience from time to time and is a natural part of human experience.
However, when these feelings become more severe, begin to take hold of your life and just won’t go away, it may be something more serious like ‘depression’.
Depression is a common condition and as such we now know a lot about its effect physically and mentally and how you can manage it. Understanding the signs, symptoms, causes, and treatment of depression is the first step to overcoming the problem.
The workshop aims to explore the facts about depression, how it is diagnosed and what it might feel like to have depression. It also aims to provide you a safe and comfortable environment where speaking about your experiences could unburden you or possibly help others with their depression.
