Whoever you are, there’s no doubt that from time to time you feed sad.  But when you’re feeling really sad, you might say “I’m depressed”.

For most people, what they think of as depression is really extreme sadness.

Sometimes these feelings can seem to come out of nowhere, leaving many people frustrated with themselves at the apparent lack of any real cause or trigger but feeling sad because of an event – like loosing your job, a breakup or the death of a loved one – is totally normal.  It can be extreme, but it’s a completely natural reaction to events and for many people, they get over it and carry one.  But for some, it becomes a downward spiral.

And that’s where the The Thrive Programme can help.
