Support for Depression 
at Evolving Minds Counselling

Depression is a complex condition that affects how a person thinks, feels and functions. It goes beyond occasional sadness and can significantly impact relationships, work, motivation and  well-being. People living with depression often experience persistent low mood, feelings of hopelessness and a loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed. It can also affect sleep, appetite, energy levels, concentration and self-esteem.

​

There are different types of depression, each with unique challenges. Major Depressive Disorder involves severe, persistent symptoms that disrupt daily life, while Persistent Depressive Disorder (dysthymia) presents as a long-term, lower-grade but still impactful depression.

 

Perinatal and postnatal depression can occur during pregnancy or after childbirth, affecting both mothers and fathers and often bringing feelings of guilt, anxiety and bonding difficulties.

 

Situational depression arises in response to major life events, such as grief or relationship breakdowns, whereas depression related to bipolar disorder occurs alongside episodes of elevated mood or mania.
