Depression is an extremely prevalent issue in Australia, affecting over a million people every year. Depression can affect anyone and anyone, at any point in their life. Therefore, it is integral to remove the taboos of being depressed, so that people feel comfortable to seek help when they need it.
Jodie Brenton- Learning How to Deal with Depression
The first step to dealing with depression is to identify and accept the fact that you are depressed. In doing this, you give yourself permission to seek support and to heal.
At Life Resolutions, we can help you to do this. We can provide you with the support to feel comfortable in acknowledging to yourself that you may be depressed. Once you have done this, you are on the path to recovery.
After this, it is important to find your support base, your friends and family members that care and love you.
Having strong connections with others helps people to maintain stability during the healing process. However, if you do not have an accessible support network, this is normal too. In this case, we recommend you seek the support of a psychologist who connects with support groups. Mary Magalotti is the principal psychologist at Life Resolutions, a position she has held since the foundation of the clinic in 2001. As a passionate psychologist, Mary has dedicated her career to helping people to improve their mental well-being and is committed to increasing the reach of Life Resolutions to help as many Australian’s facing mental illness as possible.

Life Resolutions Counselling
Alcohol and drugs represent the most addictive substances in the world and are responsible for the destruction of countless lives. Addiction to these substances is completely normal but should be addressed immediately to prevent harm.
People with mild alcohol and drug problems are generally able to change their behaviour relatively easily, by going ‘cold turkey’, with the help of friends and family or by seeking support from professionals and support groups. However, when people have severe drug and alcohol addictions, they may require more intense treatment to help them to overcome the addiction.
However, it is important to understand that no matter how sever an addiction may be, one can overcome it with the right professional help. If you, or someone you know is dealing with substance addiction, our Psychologist at Life Resolutions can help you to cope with, reduce and overcome your addiction though our counselling services.
