Meet Your Therapist
Depression is a common yet serious mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in activities once enjoyed. Symptoms can include fatigue, difficulty concentrating, changes in sleep patterns, and feelings of worthlessness. To manage depression effectively, it is essential to adopt strategies such as regular physical activity, mindfulness and relaxation techniques, maintaining a healthy diet, and seeking support from friends, family, or mental health professionals.

Not sure where to start?
Try a self-assessment.
Our self-assessment is based on the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), a widely used and accepted screening tool for assessing the severity of depression. Use of the assessment is anonymous. Our online assessment includes guidance regarding scoring as well as suggested follow-up based on the outcome of the assessment.
Always keep in mind that there are a variety of factors that can influence the reliability of the assessment, that your individual scores may vary over time, and, above all, that it is an assessment rather than a diagnostic tool. As such, this and similar self-guided assessments are not substitutes for professional guidance and should never be considered definitive.
