  • Depression is by some distance the most common mental health condition globally, and around 1 in 4 people will deal with major depression at some point in their life.

    There are many different forms of depression and each has unique behavioural symptoms. Bipolar disorder, dysthymia and psychosis are some of the examples that fall under the category of depression.

    The causation of a depressive order is still debated: some believe it is predominantly genetic whilst others argue that the cause of depression is situational and determined more by a person’s environment.

    However, despite these disagreements, there is consensus on many of the common symptoms.

    Low mood, lethargy, and suicidal tendencies are associated with almost all forms of depression.

  • We understand that one of the major effects of depression is a lack of motivation and desire to do anything considered positive.

    So we have worked hard to create a safe and comfortable environment without pressure or expectation, a space to share what you’re comfortable with and to explore avenues for support.

    We will listen and help you identify the root causes and triggers for your depression, before working on one or more therapeutic approaches to help you manage those and move into a better space.

  • Therapy at MAPP will help you better understand the root causes and triggers for your depression.

    It will also help you develop approaches and tools to manage the challenges and triggers you face in day to day life.

    You will become more open to change, opportunity, and different perspectives - feeling more connected to the people around you and the paths in front of you. Our goal is to help you find your excitement for life’s prospects.

    Taking the first step is by far the most difficult, and we want you to know we are here for you when you’re ready.
