Depression—also known as major depressive disorder or clinical depression—is a common yet serious mental health condition that affects millions of individuals every year.. It’s characterized by a persistent feeling of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in daily activities that once brought joy.
People experiencing depression may also struggle with low energy, changes in appetite or sleep, difficulty concentrating, and even thoughts of self-harm. For some, these depressive symptoms are tied to specific conditions like persistent depressive disorder or postpartum depression, while others may face treatment-resistant depression that does not respond to initial therapies.
Depression is more than just feeling down—it’s a complex mental illness that impacts emotional well-being, physical health, relationships, and the ability to function at home, at work, and in social settings. It can also occur alongside other conditions such as anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, or borderline personality disorder, which is why a thorough, individualized assessment and treatment plan is essential.
Effective care often includes individual therapy, group therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy, all of which are available at St. Mary’s Wellness as part of our comprehensive residential program.
