When to seek support for depression

Depression can develop gradually, making it difficult to recognise right away. It can range from mild, which affects some aspects of daily life, to severe which can make everyday life almost impossible to cope with.

Whatever type of you have, there are people and treatments that can help. Remember that the earlier you reach out, the better your chance of recovery.
