Understanding Bipolar Disorder
Depression is more than sadness — it’s a medical condition that can affect your mood, energy, motivation, and overall quality of life.
Being depressed doesn’t mean someone is weak or bad person or is being punished.
At Resilience Psychiatry, we provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment to help patients understand the root of their symptoms and begin healing.
Our approach focuses on restoring balance — emotionally, mentally, and physically — so you can feel like yourself again.
Symptoms of Depression
Depression can appear differently for everyone, but common symptoms include:
- Persistent sadness, emptiness, or tearfulness
- Guilt
- Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
- Changes in sleep or appetite
- Fatigue or low energy
- Difficulty concentrating
- Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
- Thoughts of death or suicide
If these symptoms last for more than two weeks or interfere with daily functioning, it may be time to seek help.
Our Approach to Treating Depression
At Resilience Psychiatry, treatment begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to understand your history, lifestyle, and goals.
Your care plan may include:
- Psychotherapy (talk therapy) to address thought patterns and emotions
- Medication management, when clinically indicated
- Lifestyle and behavioral recommendations, such as sleep and activity support
- Collaboration with therapists or primary care providers, for whole-person care
We aim to help each patient regain motivation, focus, and joy — not just manage symptoms.
