Mental Health
Depression and anxiety impact the lives of many Australians, including here in the south west. We all feel down or anxious at some point, but it becomes an illness when it impacts your quality of life, lasts a significant period of time, or impairs your ability to function socially or within your workplace.
At Cape Naturaliste Medical Centre, our GPs are trained in recognising and managing mental illness and can help you get back on the right path. So don’t bottle it up – make an appointment today.
