Depression counselling Nelson NZ
Do you suffer from depressive feelings?
Depression is a mood disorder that causes loss of interest or passion for life*. One of the strongest features of depression is the appearance of emotional flatness.
This means that the experience of feelings such as pleasure, joy and happiness partially or completely disappears. (Also the experience of sadness may disappear). With the absence of these feelings, the meaning of life may also disappear.
Perhaps you are already suffering from depression, or maybe you want to prevent your mood from spiralling down any further.
