Depression — What to Do First.

Sleep, food, movement, sunlight. The smallest possible base. What to do today, this afternoon, before anything else.

How to book it, what to say, the Mental Health Treatment Plan, the medication question.

CBT, ACT, IPT, schema. The Medicare-rebated psychologist sessions. How to find someone you don't hate by session three.

Partner, family, work. Who needs the full version, who needs the headline. Scripts that don't make it the topic.

The slow climb. Non-linear. The metrics that matter. The "it's working" markers most men miss.

Relapse as part of the picture, not a verdict. The early-warning checklist. Why the second time is shorter.
