Request an AppointmentUnderstanding Depression and Its Treatment
Depression is a mental health condition that can affect the entire body, including the brain. It can negatively alter the way you think, behave, and feel, and is often defined as persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest, and unrest lasting longer than a few weeks.
There are many causes of depression, which is why it is important to work with a licensed professional when seeking treatment. In some cases, depression stems from a disconnection of values, relationships, or other aspects of life. In others, it may relate to the lack of certain neurotransmitters in the brain responsible for feelings of joy, motivation, and affection.
Common Symptoms of Depression
While anyone can feel sad at times, depression is far more intense than ordinary sadness and can make it difficult to function, maintain relationships, and complete daily tasks. Symptoms vary from person to person and may appear day or night:
- Ongoing feelings of sadness, anxiety, or emptiness
- Aches or body pain such as migraines, cramps, or digestive problems
- Changes in appetite
- Decreased energy
- Difficulty concentrating
- Feeling inadequate
- Inability to make decisions
- Loss of interest
- Low self-esteem
- Thoughts of suicide or death
- Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
Depression often cannot be managed alone. If you or a loved one has begun to show signs or symptoms, please seek help. Fortunately, depression is treatable, and relief is possible. At Clear Path Wellness Lounge, we offer individual and group therapies, behavioral therapy, medication, and consultation services, and we work with you to customize a plan that fits your needs and lifestyle. Treatment may include therapy, lifestyle changes, stress management, prescription medication, and other approaches. One unique option we offer is ketamine infusion therapy, and for those seeking alternatives to medication, we also provide non-medication based depression treatment such as TMS therapy. Careful medication management ensures your treatment stays on track. If you also experience anxiety, we can address both together. Call (754) 294-4357 or request an appointment online today.
