What is depression, and what are its common symptoms?

Depression, also known as major depressive disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and a lack of interest or pleasure in most activities. Common symptoms of depression include changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, fatigue, and feelings of hopelessness. 

People who experience depression may have a hard time showing up in relationships or appreciating the good things in their lives. Chemical imbalances in the brain make it difficult or impossible to engage with life more fully for people who struggle with depression.

Dr. Nzoiwu is experienced in identifying and managing depression and providing personalized treatment to help you find relief. This patient-centered approach is essential in combating the challenging symptoms of depression.

What treatment options are available for depression, and how effective are they?

Effective treatment for depression often involves a combination of therapy, medication, and lifestyle adjustments. Dr. Nzoiwu and her team at Healthstat Psychiatry work closely with individuals to develop tailored treatment plans to address their symptoms.

The practice uses evidence-based treatments like cognitive-behavioral therapy and may prescribe antidepressant medications to alleviate symptoms and help you regain a positive outlook on life.

How can I reach out for support in managing depression?

Depression is different than occasional sadness. Support for depression begins with realizing there’s an issue and seeking help. However, episodes of depression make it harder for people to address the onset of symptoms and seek appropriate help from friends, family, or physicians.
