Treat Your Depression in a Fraction of the Time
Depression
The National Institute of Mental Health reports that 17 million American adults suffer from depression during any one year. Depression can be debilitating, affecting your relationship with others, your productivity at work and school, and your overall mood and life approach.
Depression can be caused by loss, a difficult situation, stress, or other external conditions. In other cases, it is a result of changes in the body’s chemistry. Depression can also signal that a person’s life may be out of balance. At Services for Living Well, we get to the root of your depression and provide effective treatment methods to improve your overall quality of life.
