Depression is a common mental health disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities. While it’s natural to experience sadness or grief in response to life events, depression often occurs without a specific trigger. It can affect your thoughts, productivity, sleep, and personal relationships. Over time, you may notice behavioral changes such as changes in appetite, excessive time spent in bed, or difficulty managing responsibilities.

At Assured Care Group, LLC, your provider conducts a thorough psychiatric evaluation to assess your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan to manage your depression.

  • Guilt
