Depression is an extremely prevalent issue in Australia, affecting over a million people every year. Depression can affect anyone and anyone, at any point in their life. Therefore, it is integral to remove the taboos of being depressed, so that people feel comfortable to seek help when they need it.

The first step to dealing with depression is to identify and accept the fact that you are depressed. In doing this, you give yourself permission to seek support and to heal. At Tonic Psychology, we can help you to do this. We can provide you with the support to feel comfortable in acknowledging to yourself that you may be depressed. Once you have done this, you are on the path to recovery.

After this, it is important to find your support base, your friends and family members that care and love you. Having strong connections with others helps people to maintain stability during the healing process. However, if you do not have an accessible support network, this is normal too. In this case, we recommend you seek the support of a psychologist who connects with support groups.
