Services
Most people experience moments in life when it feels like they need something to make them feel better. For thousands of years, human beings have taken mind-altering substances as a way to alter their perceptions, or help cope with physical or emotional pain. Natural herbs, manufactured drugs, and alcohol have all been used in this way.
Anxiety is a mental health condition where there is excessive worry and concern for either specific situations or a generalised heightened discomfort. Although anxiety is a normal reaction to a stressful situation, it can become severe and cause significant distress or interfere with daily living. A panic attack is a brief episode of intense anxiety, which causes the physical sensations of fear, and can last from a few minutes to half an hour.
Depression is a mental health condition which currently affects many Australians. While we all feel sad, moody or low from time to time, some people experience these feelings intensely, for long periods of time (weeks, months or even years). These symptoms are experienced by everyone at some time in their life, however, this is different to the clinical condition also known as clinical depression.
Strong relationships or marriages are a significant part of living a healthy, meaningful life. A harmonious relationship can enrich your life and make for real happiness. But complex issues like sex, co-parenting, or effective communication can negatively impact a relationship, creating emotional distance and conflict between individuals.
