DEPRESSION

Understanding and Treating Depression at ZenDen Psychiatry

What Is Depression?
Depression is a common yet serious mental health condition that affects how you feel, think, and manage daily life. At ZenDen Psychiatry, we understand the complexities of depression and are here to provide expert, compassionate care tailored to your needs.

Signs and Symptoms of Depression

Depression is more than occasional sadness. It’s a persistent condition that can significantly impact your life. Symptoms may include:

Persistent Sadness: Feeling down, hopeless, or empty most of the day.
Loss of Interest: Reduced enjoyment in activities you once loved.
Sleep Disturbances: Insomnia or oversleeping that disrupts daily life.
Fatigue and Low Energy: Feeling tired, even after rest.
Difficulty Concentrating: Trouble focusing or making decisions.
Feelings of Guilt or Worthlessness: Harsh self-criticism or unnecessary guilt.
Physical Symptoms: Aches, pains, or digestive issues without a clear cause.

If you experience these symptoms for more than two weeks, it may indicate clinical depression. Seeking professional help is essential.
