DEPRESSION and ANXIETY
Depression is a common condition which will affect nearly all of us at some time in our lives. It often follows a major life event, such as the death of a friend or relative, or the birth of a child; but sometimes it just happens for no obvious reason. It can last from a few days to a long time. However, we know for sure that it can be helped. If you think you are suffering from depression, then some of the following pages may help you. If you feel you need to see a doctor, then it would be helpful to him if you would print off and complete this questionnaire and bring it in with you to your appointment.
Experience has shown that cognitive behaviour therapy can be an effective treatment for anxiety and depression. The websites moodGYM and livinglifetothefull.co.uk offers a free web-based therapy course which is designed to help people prone to anxiety and depression.
