Reach out to a free depression hotline in Australia for confidential help

Depression is a common mental health problem that affects millions of people worldwide. When you're depressed you feel sad on most days and you may find it difficult to keep up with life's demands.

There are 15 depression hotlines in Australia that you can contact for free help if you're experiencing the following symptoms:

  • Even the smallest tasks take too much effort
  • You cannot concentrate and have difficulties memorizing things
  • Sometimes, you feel dead inside
  • You feel worthless and deserving of disgust
  • You might be unable to sit still
  • You wake up during the night or at dawn and cannot fall asleep again
  • You could be contemplating suicide
  • You lost your sexual appetite

These signs of depression can feel confusing and scary. It is normal to feel out of place. However, with the right kind of support, you can begin to feel hopeful and positive about your life and future again.

Depression can make you feel worthless, like you don't deserve or are beyond help. But this is not true. You deserve help and support from people who care about your situation. Helpline volunteers and counselors in Australia care about what you're going through, want to support you, and help you find a path forward.

Consider contacting a hotline in Australia today for free, private help with depression.
