Depression
Depression generally refers to at least two weeks of persistent low mood, boredom, hopelessness, fatigue, and reduced interest in previously enjoyable activities. It can be debilitating, and some people experience thoughts of self-harm or suicide.
Fortunately, depression is highly treatable, and many people who seek help improve significantly. Our Depression treatment program uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), providing practical skills to manage symptoms, break negative cycles, and help you feel better.
