Understanding Depression
Depression is more than just feeling sad or going through a tough time; it's a serious mental health condition that requires understanding, treatment, and support. Symptoms of depression can vary widely but often include persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, hopelessness, loss of interest in activities, changes in appetite or weight, sleep disturbances, and difficulty concentrating, among others. Our goal at Pure-Ivy Health Care is to help you recognize these symptoms and provide the support you need to overcome them.
