Understanding Depression – More Than Just a Bad Mood

Feeling sad or tired from time to time is normal, but when these feelings don’t go away, you may be dealing with something more serious: clinical depression. At our psychiatry-only practice, we specialize in diagnosing and treating depression through evidence-based medication management.

Depression isn’t always obvious. You might feel:

  • Persistent fatigue
  • Irritability or numbness
  • Changes in sleep or appetite
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy

Antidepressants work by regulating the brain’s chemical messengers, such as serotonin and dopamine. While they don’t create instant change, many patients feel improvement within a few weeks.

If you’ve tried therapy alone and still struggle with symptoms, or if your daily life is being affected, it may be time to explore medical treatment. Our psychiatrists tailor medication plans to each individual and monitor for both progress and side effects.

You don’t have to manage depression alone. Schedule a consultation today and take the first step toward feeling better.
