DEPRESSION

Depression is the most common mental disorder in the United States. Depression causes feelings of sadness and a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can lead to various emotional and physical problems and decrease a person’s ability to function at work and at home. Depression can directly affect your relationship with others. Symptoms can vary from mild to severe and can include:

​

• Feeling sad or having a depressed mood

• Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed

• Changes in appetite — weight loss or gain unrelated to dieting

• Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much

• Loss of energy or increased fatigue

• Increase in purposeless physical activity (e.g., hand-wringing or pacing) or slowed movements and speech (actions observable by others)

• Feeling worthless or guilty

• Difficulty thinking, concentrating, or making decisions

• Thoughts of death or suicide

While talk therapy has many benefits, we take your treatment to the next level by using objective measures to analyze neurological biomarkers associated with brain function. When the brain works efficiently, it gives us a better picture of the world around us. When the brain expends less energy on simple tasks (eye movements, balance, sleep, breathing, etc..), it can focus more on the emotional components and function on a higher cognitive level, allowing you to feel more happiness and joy in your life.

The brain has a unique and fascinating ability to heal itself through neuroplasticity. We use this fact to help you create positive and lasting change in your brain function so you can return to living and loving your life.
