We all feel a little down from time to time. Whether we’re going through a difficult time with work, have fallen out with friends or are just physically run-down, most of us feel sad or a little depressed once in a while.
So how do we know if our feelings are a normal emotional reaction to stressful times, or whether we’re suffering from the symptoms of depression?

Feeling depressed or having depression?
Retour au sommaireHaving a low mood and being unhappy is often mixed up with depression, but they are different.
Clinical depression has a range of symptoms – both physical and emotional – which can interfere with your day to day life. Discovering whether you have one or more of these symptoms could be an important step towards getting the help you need.
Help for depression
There are many ways in which depression can be treated - from talking therapies such as la thérapie cognitivo-comportementale or counselling, to medicines such as ISRS (antidepressants) which help to increase serotonin in the brain to counter feelings of low-mood.
The important thing is that you seek help and support as soon as possible, which may help your depression from worsening.
Talking about depression
If you feel you might be depressed, it’s important to seek help, talk to friends and family, your doctor or your manager at work.

Re-sparkling - the science of finding more joy
You're in the garden with your loved ones, sun shining and BBQ sizzling with your favourite food. Do you think you'd be happier in this moment if this was a typical day? Or if this described an occasional summer treat? It's easy to wish for the first scenario, but in truth, getting used to something can lose its sparkle. More than this, it can lead you into unhealthy behaviours and even affect your mental health. This is the science of habituation - and we can do something about it.
