How to repair crack in patio ceiling?

Hi, completely new to this and looking to learn from the wisdom of others.

We recently moved into our house and have noticed this crack that has developed in the plasterboard ceiling of our patio.

I'm wondering if this looks like its from water damage (or potentially something else?) And how I might go about fixing it?

hi @SPMac Did you  intentially make a crack pun about your cracked  roof :smile:

 

If so great you havnt lost your sense of humour  needed at this time.

 

Another  way I lift sunken roofs is I make a  T  shaped prop as discussed  approx 1.5 padded span top  and I cut the prop piece to the floor long enough to get a car jack underneath, (2nd person  helps  here) This makes lifting much easier. But dont over lift as car  jack can crush  ceiling gyprock going up to far.
