Depression
Clinical depression is a disorder that often requires both medication and psychotherapy with the goal of full recovery. Symptoms include prolonged sadness, decreased energy, sleep disturbance, changes in appetite, poor concentration, and feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness that can lead to suicidal thinking. These problems may be present at any age and often go untreated because people tend to blame themselves or their life situations as opposed to seeing depression as a biological, often inherited condition. We can offer help, including psychiatric evaluation, psychological testing if necessary, and skilled psychotherapy to define and manage this highly treatable, frequently chronic, condition.Contact us today!
