Depression

Depression can cast a dark cloud over every area of your life and can affect your mood, energy, sleep, and health as a whole.

What is Depression?

Depression is more than just a bad day or a fleeting feeling of sadness. It's a complicated mood disorder that can affect the way you feel, think, and handle your everyday life.

Our medication management service is centered on finding the right balance of treatment that meets your personal situation and health goals.

How Depression Affects A Person

Emotionally

People can experience prolonged sadness, feelings of hopelessness, episodes of irritability over small things and a sense of worthlessness.

Physically

Symptoms can include changes in appetite or weight, sleep disturbances (insomnia or excessive sleeping), low energy, and unexplained aches or pains.

Cognitively

There could be difficulties with concentration, decision making, and memory. Aside from that, people usually express a lack of motivation and disinterest in activities they used to enjoy.

Socially

Depression can lead to withdrawal from social engagements, affecting relationships with friends and family. It can also affect one's productivity at school or work.

Behaviorally

Changes might include reduced activity, neglect of personal responsibilities, and in severe cases, thoughts of self-harm or suicide.
