Occupational Therapy Services for Depression

Depression is a very common but serious illness that affects emotions, thinking, behaviour and physical wellbeing.

Depression can affect individuals very differently. For some, sleep and appetite changes may occur, a lack of energy may be experienced and the person may have trouble concentrating. Feelings of worthlessness and suicidal thoughts or behaviours may also be present. Your GP may diagnose a major depressive disorder is made when a number of these kinds of symptoms are present for at least two weeks. Depression can seriously affect a person’s ability to sustain satisfying and enjoyable relationships and activities at home and work.
