Depression Treatment

Depression goes beyond feelings of sadness—it is a persistent condition that can impact mood, energy levels, sleep, appetite, and motivation. It can stem from a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. If left untreated, depression can significantly affect personal relationships, work performance, and overall quality of life.

Common Causes of Depression:

• Genetics: A family history of depression can increase susceptibility.

• Brain Chemistry Imbalances: Irregular neurotransmitter activity can affect mood regulation.

• Trauma and Stress: Past or present emotional trauma can contribute to depression.

• Chronic Illness or Pain: Physical health conditions can increase vulnerability.

• Substance Use Disorders: Depression often coexists with addiction, requiring an integrated treatment approach.

Symptoms of Depression:

• Persistent sadness or hopelessness

• Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed

• Fatigue or low energy levels

• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

• Changes in sleep patterns (insomnia or excessive sleeping)

• Appetite fluctuations leading to weight gain or loss

• Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
