What is Depression?
Depression is more than just feeling sad or low. It’s a common yet serious mental health condition that affects how you think, feel, and behave. It can interfere with your daily functioning, relationships, sleep, energy levels, and overall quality of life.
Everyone feels down sometimes, but depression is persistent. It often lasts weeks, months, or even years if left untreated. Online therapy for depression and anxiety can provide effective, evidence-based support to help you feel better.
Types of Depression
Understanding the type of depression you’re experiencing can help in choosing the right treatment. Here are some of the most common forms:
- Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): Characterised by a persistently low mood, lack of interest in activities, and other physical and emotional symptoms that last for more than two weeks.
- Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia): A chronic form of depression that lasts for at least two years, with symptoms that may be less severe but are long-lasting.
- Postpartum Depression: A type of depression that affects new mothers after childbirth.
- Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Occurs typically during certain times of the year, such as winter, when sunlight is limited.
- Bipolar Depression: Involves episodes of depression that alternate with periods of mania or elevated mood.
No matter the type, online depression therapy can be tailored to suit your specific needs and situation.
Signs & Symptoms of Depression
Recognizing the symptoms early is key to getting the help you need. Common signs include:
- Persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
- Loss of interest in hobbies or activities
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Fatigue or low energy
- Changes in sleep (too much or too little)
- Appetite or weight changes
- Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
- Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
If you or someone you love is experiencing these symptoms, seeking counselling for depression is a crucial step toward recovery.

Designed to improve communication and relationships, which can often be affected by depression. - Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
