Understanding Mild and Major Depression
Depression, often referred to as clinical depression, is a category of mood disorders that can influence your thinking patterns, emotional stability, and daily functioning. Mild depression can involve occasional low mood, reduced energy, poor motivation, or sleep issues, while major depression, such as Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), can bring sustained sadness, loss of interest in hobbies and social contact, and thoughts of self-harm.
If you do not get support, depression may become more intense and start affecting your health, relationships, and career progress. We know the decision to reach out is not always simple. Our empathetic team delivers evidence-based care designed to help you manage symptoms safely and move forward with support.
