What Is Depression?
Depression, also known as major depressive disorder, is a common but serious mood disorder. It causes persistent symptoms that affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working. For a clinical diagnosis, these symptoms must be present for at least two weeks.
Common Symptoms of Depression
-
Persistent sad, anxious, or 'empty' mood.
-
Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities.
-
Significant changes in appetite, weight, or sleep patterns.
-
Feelings of profound fatigue or decreased energy.
-
Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, or making decisions.
Understanding the Causes of Depression
Depression does not have a single cause and often results from a complex interplay of factors. These can include genetics and family history, brain chemistry, and significant life events such as trauma or chronic stress. Our approach at Uriel Behavioral Wellness Inc considers the whole person to understand the roots of your experience.

Who Can Benefit From Depression Treatment?
Treatment is for individuals who have been experiencing a persistent low mood, sadness, or hopelessness for two weeks or more. If your emotional state is interfering with your ability to enjoy life, seeking professional help is a proactive step toward wellness.
Anyone who has lost interest in activities and hobbies they once found pleasurable may be a candidate for care. This symptom, known as anhedonia, is a core component of depression that therapy can effectively address.
You are a candidate for treatment if symptoms are negatively impacting your daily functioning. This includes challenges with work or school performance, maintaining relationships, or managing basic self-care tasks like sleeping and eating.
Individuals who are ready to explore their experiences and actively participate in their own recovery process are excellent candidates. A willingness to engage in therapy or psychiatric care is key to achieving positive outcomes.
