Depression & Mood Disorders

Depression and mood disorders affect how individuals think, feel, and function in daily life. These conditions can influence emotional energy, motivation, relationships, and a person’s sense of self-worth. While depression is often associated with sadness, it can also appear as numbness, exhaustion, or a loss of interest in things that once mattered.

Mood disorders exist on a spectrum. Some individuals experience persistent low mood, while others may cycle between emotional highs and lows. Regardless of how symptoms present, they can feel overwhelming and difficult to manage alone.
