Depression is a pervasive mental health condition that affects mood, energy, motivation, and daily functioning. Our dedicated team provides holistic, evidence-based care designed to help clients move beyond hopelessness, rebuild resilience, and reclaim their lives.

What Is It?

Depression disorders include Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia), Bipolar Depression, and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). These conditions involve ongoing sadness, low mood, or a loss of interest in activities, often accompanied by physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms. Without treatment, depression can significantly impair work, relationships, and health.

Signs and Symptoms

Symptoms may include persistent sadness, feelings of hopelessness or emptiness, loss of interest in hobbies, changes in appetite or weight, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, sleep disturbances, and thoughts of death or suicide. Depression can also manifest physically, causing aches, pains, or digestive issues without clear medical causes.
