Hi,
to Darrbo: I'm feeling quite upset about your post, so just have to comment.
There is a huge difference between feeling depressed and having depression. The first one is indeed, what most people get at least once through their lifetime and you have descibed tools to deal with that. However, clinical depression is an entirely different matter. There is often not "a problem" attached to it and it is not about clearing your mind. Depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain and unfortunately, quite often, the best way to get yourself back in control is with the aid of drugs. I'm sorry, but I just know of too many people, who have killed or attempted to kill themselves after "a good sleep".

to Pulke: There is a large variety of tests for Depression and Anxiety disorders. In NZ, these are done by Psychyatrists and occasionaly Psychologists and fall outside the scope of Physiotherapy.

Kind regards,
Andrea
