Our Depression practice guide has recently been updated, and to support this, we’ve curated a list of some of the most current APS resources available to members.
From professional development activities to journals and publications, we’re sure you’ll find this useful whether you’re studying, practicing psychology or simply interested in furthering your knowledge and skills in this area.
Over 8 million (about 31.5%) Australians recently reported that they had been diagnosed with a long-term health condition, and 2.2 million (about 8.8%) stated their mental health condition included depression or anxiety*.
