Depression

Depression is a mood disorder that causes relentless feelings of despair, sadness, and irritability. Sometimes called major depressive disorder (MDD), depression can cause individuals to lose interest in daily activities or doing things that once brought them joy. Depression can affect anyone at any age. In fact, studies have shown that 20% of Americans experience a severe depressive episode each year. There are types of depression, such as postpartum depression, clinical depression, and treatment-resistant depression. One of the first steps in treating depression is identifying which type of depression you may be experiencing. Talk therapy and medication are among the most common treatments for depression and are effective for some people. Our team recognizes that each patient is unique, and sometimes, what works for one patient may not work for another. In addition to conventional depression treatments, we also offer innovative alternatives, such as intranasal Spravato therapy.
