Understanding Depression

Depression is more than just feeling sad - it's a serious medical condition that affects how you think, feel, and function. At Empathy Health Clinic, we understand that depression looks different for everyone, and we tailor our treatment approach to your unique needs.

Depression can be caused by a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. Life events like trauma, loss, or chronic stress can trigger depression, as can medical conditions and certain medications. The good news is that depression is highly treatable - most people who seek help experience significant improvement.

  • Board-certified psychiatrists specializing in mood disorders
  • Evidence-based treatment protocols with proven results
  • TMS therapy for treatment-resistant cases
  • Same-week appointments and telehealth options

Common Signs of Depression

Persistent Sadness

Feeling sad, empty, or hopeless most of the day, nearly every day

Loss of Interest

Diminished interest or pleasure in activities you once enjoyed

Sleep Problems

Insomnia or sleeping too much, difficulty waking up

Low Energy

Fatigue, tiredness, or loss of energy nearly every day

Concentration Issues

If you're experiencing several of these symptoms for more than two weeks, it may be time to seek professional help. Depression is treatable, and you don't have to face it alone.

Our Depression Treatment Approach

We offer comprehensive, evidence-based treatment options tailored to your unique needs and goals.

  • Personalized medication selection
  • Regular dosage optimization

  • Drug interaction screening

Therapy Coordination

We coordinate with licensed therapists to provide comprehensive care combining medication with evidence-based psychotherapy approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy.

TMS Therapy

For treatment-resistant depression, we offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) - an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
