Depression is a common but serious mental health issue. Everyone feels down, low or moody now and then, but depression is more than simply ‘feeling down’. There are a number of symptoms, which may present differently in different people (which is why a professional evaluation is recommended). Depression will impact a person’s daily functioning and relationships. An individual may be depressed if, over a certain length of time, they experience at least one of the following: - a sense of sadness, emptiness, or low mood for most of the day, nearly every day. - a loss of interest or pleasure in almost all activities, even ones that they usually enjoyed. Symptoms of depression may also include lethargy, worry and negative thought patterns, as well as physiological signs such as changes to sleep patterns and appetite. If you’re feeling this way, know that you are not alone - and also that depression is treatable, and help is available. Educating yourself is an important first step. If you feel like you may have depression, a great next step would be to make an appointment with your family doctor/GP to discuss how you’re feeling. Your doctor can give you some personalised advice, and if necessary, can help you to make an appointment with a psychologist or psychiatrist, discuss medication options if appropriate, or advise on lifestyle changes that can support you in your recovery. If you have questions around mental health support, some of the resources below may help. You can also make an appointment with your GPand/or reach out to SAMARITANS.  #### Urgent Support If you need to speak to someone urgently:   - Call or text [116 123](https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/if-youre-having-difficult-time/i-want-kill-myself/), 24/7 - or follow this link to [SAMARITANS](https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/if-youre-having-difficult-time/) support page In addition to contacting a support line, it’s also important to reach out to a friend or family member, if possible, to let them know you are feeling suicidal or need help.  If you’re in an **emergency situation** or need immediate assistance for yourself or someone else, call emergency services on 999 or go to your local emergency department, you are not alone.    - [The Event](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/the-event?hsLang=en) - [The Push-Ups](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/the-push-ups?hsLang=en#main-content) - [The Push-Ups and Alternatives](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/the-push-ups?hsLang=en#the-push-ups-and-alternatives) - [Banking](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/the-push-ups?hsLang=en#banking) - [My Account](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/my-account?hsLang=en) - [The App](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/the-app?hsLang=en#main-content) - [About the App](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/the-app?hsLang=en#about-the-app) - [App Technical Issues](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/the-app?hsLang=en#app-technical-issues) - [Fundraising](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/fundraising?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Fundraising](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/fundraising?hsLang=en#fundraising) - [Donations and Receipts](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/fundraising?hsLang=en#donations-and-receipts) - [Teams and Communities](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/teams-and-communities?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Teams](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/teams-and-communities?hsLang=en#teams) - [Communities](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/teams-and-communities?hsLang=en#communities) - [Workplaces](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/workplaces?hsLang=en) - [Mental Health](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/mental-health?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Australia](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/mental-health?hsLang=en#australia) - [Canada](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/mental-health?hsLang=en#canada) - [United Kingdom](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/mental-health?hsLang=en#united-kingdom) - [New Zealand](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/mental-health?hsLang=en#new-zealand) - [More help?](https://help.thepushupchallenge.com.au/knowledge/more-help?hsLang=en) # The Push-Up Challenge thepushupchallenge.com.au Help Center Copyright © 2026, The Push-Up Challenge
