What is Depression?
This video module briefly talks about depression and helps you to consider whether depression is something that you’re experiencing.
Depression is a common illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. It can cause you to feel low or sad, have unhelpful or negative thinking, and a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed.

Challenging Unhelpful Thinking
In this video, we talk to you about a way to improve your mood by challenging unhelpful thinking. Challenging unhelpful thinking is an evidence-based approach to improving low mood or anxiety. It works by identifying negative or unhelpful thoughts and gathering evidence as to the accuracy of the thought. This evidence then helps us to develop a more realistic and helpful thought.
