Depression is a common mental health condition that affects one in 10 people. Depression is more than just feeling sad or down, it's a complex mental health condition that can impact all aspects of a life, including emotions, thoughts, behaviours and physical health. Speaking openly about depression is a sign of strength, it helps break down the stigma surrounding mental illness and encourages others to seek help without shame or a fear of judgment. At Life Brackenview we offer compassionate care to help you manage depression. Our team of mental health professionals are dedicated to providing you with the support you require on this journey. You deserve the support, compassion, and the opportunity to heal to overcome depression.

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is when the pressure that blood places on blood vessels is higher than normal or necessary. Many people with high blood pressure don’t even know they have it. These could be warning signs.
Hypertension often goes unnoticed until it causes harm.
Symptoms that can indicate hypertension include but are not limited to:
▪ persistent dull headaches
▪ bloodshot eyes
▪ random nosebleeds
A diagnosis should always be made by a healthcare professional by monitoring your blood pressure regularly.
Know your numbers. Get your blood pressure checked and stay in control.
