Depression

Depression is a common mental health condition that affects mood, energy levels, and overall well-being. It can cause persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Depression isn’t simply feeling down—it can impact daily life, relationships, and physical health.

Key characteristics of depression include:

  • Persistent low mood or feelings of emptiness.

  • Loss of interest in hobbies, work, or social activities.

  • Fatigue, difficulty sleeping, or excessive sleeping.

  • Changes in appetite and weight.

  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions.


While depression can feel overwhelming, depression therapy can help individuals develop strategies to manage symptoms and regain a sense of control.

WHAT DOES DEPRESSION FEEL LIKE?

Depression can feel like being trapped in a cycle of sadness and exhaustion, where even simple tasks feel overwhelming. Many people describe it as a sense of heaviness, numbness, or emotional emptiness.

The experience of depression may include:

  • A deep sense of sadness or hopelessness that lingers.

  • Feeling disconnected from loved ones or avoiding social interactions.

  • A lack of motivation, even for things that once brought joy.

  • Physical symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, or body aches.


Depression affects both mental and physical health, making it difficult to function day-to-day. However, recognising symptoms is the first step toward recovery.

HOW TO OVERCOME DEPRESSION WITH THERAPY

Depression can be managed with the right tools and support. Depression counselling provides a safe space to explore thoughts and emotions while developing coping strategies to improve well-being. At HeadHealth, we connect individuals with professional therapists who understand depression and how to help.

Through therapy, you can:

  • Learn techniques to manage negative thoughts and low mood.

  • Identify triggers and develop healthy coping mechanisms.

  • Establish routines to improve motivation and energy levels.

  • Work through underlying emotions in a safe, supportive space.


Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective treatments for depression, helping individuals challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with healthier perspectives. A therapist will work alongside you to develop a personalised plan for recovery.

You don’t have to face depression alone—HeadHealth is here to support you every step of the way.
