Depression is more than sadness. It can look like exhaustion, numbness, irritability, or simply losing interest in things that used to matter. It is also one of the most treatable conditions in mental health care.
Therapy for depression often focuses on rebuilding activity, structure, and connection, alongside working through the thought patterns that keep it going.
Antidepressant medication can lift the weight enough to make everyday functioning, and therapy itself, possible again.
For moderate to severe depression, research consistently shows therapy and medication together outperform either alone.
It varies widely. Some people feel meaningfully better within weeks of starting treatment, others need several months. We track progress together and adjust as needed.
It is common to try more than one medication or dose before finding the right fit. We will not leave you on something that isn't helping.
For some people, the first few weeks of an antidepressant can involve side effects before benefits appear. We monitor closely during this period and are available if anything feels wrong.
Sadness is a normal response to a specific situation and tends to lift. Clinical depression is more persistent, often without a clear trigger, and interferes with sleep, appetite, energy, or daily functioning for two weeks or more.
Yes, for many people it can. We will help you understand where you fall on the severity spectrum and recommend therapy alone, medication alone, or both based on your specific situation.
