Depression
Including Major Depressive Disorder, Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia) and Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood
Depression is a mood disorder which can effect self-esteem and develop into a destructive cycle having adverse effects on a person's quality of life. In severe cases, depressive symptoms can lead one to withdraw from life. My philosophy is to develop a treatment plan specific to the individual's needs, including medication, therapy, or a combination of both.
