Depression - Compassionate Support
at Evolving Minds

Depression is more than feeling down and it can significantly affect your daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. It’s marked by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. These feelings can impact how you think, feel, and function day-to-day.

​

Perinatal depression can arise during pregnancy or after childbirth, bringing unique challenges such as feelings of inadequacy, struggles with bonding, and increased anxiety about parenting. This condition affects both mothers and fathers and calls for compassionate, specialised support.

​
