Depression is extremely common in New Zealand, with 1 in 6 people experiencing it at some point during their lifetime. Symptoms range in severity, from feeling generally low to thoughts of self-harm or suicide.

Depression is not a sign of weakness. In fact, to recognise you need help shows huge strength and it is a treatable illness. Treatments include lifestyle changes, psychological therapy and medications – often a combination of different treatments is used.

Increasing societal pressures are seeing rising numbers in mental health cases and early intervention is vital. You should see a doctor if you’re experiencing constant feelings of sadness or hopelessness, or your mood is affecting your ability to sleep, eat or work or study.

If you, or someone you know, is having thoughts about self-harm or suicide, dial 111 immediately.

How Tend can help with your health

Choose a doctor to suit you

Online appointments available 7 days a week

We know you are busy so we are open for online consultations late nights and weekends at no extra charge. Make an appointment when you have the space and privacy to really talk.

We have a range of doctors to choose from, so if you prefer a female physician or a doctor that specialises in a particular area of medicine you can select that doctor when you book your appointment.

Tell us what's up before we talk

Be in control of your healthcare

Your mind is probably full of to do lists, so following the appointment you will be sent consultation notes and your script (if necessary) will be sent direct to your pharmacy.

Leave a note when you book your appointment, so the doctor has a heads up and you can make the best use of your time together.

Free in-clinic referrals

If you have an online consult and the doctor decides that it would be better to see you in person, perhaps for an examination, then they can arrange an in clinic consultation at no extra charge.

We'll follow up with you a few days after your appointment, and if there's any other support you need from us you can chat directly to the care team.
