What is Depression
Depression is more than a “bad day” or feeling sad. It’s a mental health condition that affects thoughts, emotions, and even physical well-being. If you’re struggling, know that depression is treatable, and with the right support, it’s possible to feel better. Contact Us Today and let’s start your journey to healing.

Causes of Depression
There’s no single cause of depression; it often results from a mix of different factors, including:
- Genetics: A family history of depression may increase the likelihood of experiencing it.
- Life Events: Grief, trauma, and major life changes can trigger depression.
- Chemical Imbalances: Variations in brain chemistry, including serotonin and dopamine levels, may contribute.
- Environmental Stressors: Chronic stress or unhealthy relationships can worsen feelings of depression.
