Sadness is a normal human emotion. But, if it happens too often or becomes severe, we often describe the person as having a ‘depressive disorder’ or ‘depression‘. Depression is very common and affects more than 1.5 million Australian adults each year. Because depression affects motivation, energy levels and self-esteem, recovery from depression can be hard work. Fortunately, depression is highly treatable, and many people who seek help improve significantly.
The Clinical Research Unit for Anxiety and Depression (CRUfAD) consists of three departments that each work to research and deliver practical treatment to patients struggling with anxiety and depression.
Treatments delivered by CRUfAD involve Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a method of treatment for psychological disorders that takes a practical, task-based approach to solving problems.
Provides online treatment programs, education and research in anxiety and depressive disorders.
