Welcome
If you are sad and/or anxious a lot of the time, you know it because you live it. It interferes with your functioning, renders you helpless when making decisions and leaves you with concerns about the possibility that you may not recover.
Why do other people around me seem to coping better than me? This is a common question asked by sufferers, but it is an erroneous idea nonetheless.
In Australia, it is estimated that 45 percent of people will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime. In any 1 year, around 1 million Australian adults have depression and over 2 million have anxiety.
Anxiety and depression have both been referred to as the “common cold” of mental illness. And while these conditions are indeed prevalent, there is nothing benign about them.
At anxietyanddepression.net.au we offer psychotherapy (not crisis counselling) exclusively for both these conditions and assure you that professional help is at hand.
