Depression is a serious mental health disorder that affects adults and adolescents, causing symptoms that alter how you feel, think, and behave.
Having anxiety or other mental health conditions can increase your risk for depression. You might also be prone to depression if you have a thyroid disorder or another chronic illness that affects your physical health.
Other factors that influence your risk for depression include:
Mindful Behavioral Solutions provides comprehensive depression screenings and treatments for adults and adolescents. The team offers one-on-one, compassionate care in the office and through an online telehealth platform.
Schedule a depression screening at Mindful Behavioral Solutions if you or your child have symptoms of depression that last for two weeks or longer. Depression symptoms can include:
Untreated depression can significantly increase your risk for potentially life-threatening behaviors, including self-harm and suicide. If you’re considering suicide, call 911 or seek emergency medical care at the nearest hospital.
The providers meet with you in person or online to assess your symptoms and customize a care plan to bring your symptoms under control.
Mindful Behavioral Solutions provides personalized medication management solutions for depression.
The psychiatric team can prescribe anti-depressant medications that enhance your brain chemistry to stabilize your moods. While antidepressants won’t provide immediate symptom relief, they are highly effective at relieving persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and low moods as you continue taking them.
The team can also refer you to a psychotherapist for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other counseling. A therapist helps you identify patterns of negative thoughts and behaviors and provides resources you can use to improve your mindset and quality of life.
People with depression can also make lifestyle changes to support their overall physical, mental, and emotional wellness. Changes might include incorporating more exercise in your routine, eating a healthy diet, and following a sleep schedule to ensure a good night’s sleep.
