Depression may start after a loss, a breakup, or months of bad news. Maybe there’s no clear reason at all. Either way, the things you once enjoyed no longer pull you in. At Mentally Healthy Care, Noah Peter provides depression treatment in Long Beach, CA, starting with a clear picture of what you are experiencing and building a plan around it.
Depression affects your mood, your sleep, and your motivation, sometimes all at once. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 8.3% of U.S. adults, roughly 21 million people, had at least one major depressive episode in the past year. Depression is not a personal failing, and working with the right psychiatrist can help you find treatment that fits your needs.
