Depression

Regain control of your life by seeing a depression psychologist on the Gold Coast with Alegna Solutions.

Depression is relatively common amongst Australians of all ages, both men and women. According to the ABS, depression will affect one in every seven people at some point during their lives. Everyone has their blue days, but if you find yourself feeling low for long stretches of time, you may be suffering from depression and need the help of a psychologist.
