Depression is a mental state of low mood and there are several subtypes of depression, but major depressive disorder is the one that's usually intended. It is expected to be the number one cause of disease burden worldwide by 2030. The term major depressive disorder was first used in the 1970s and the disorder was added to the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders known as the DSM in the 1980s.

Our team is here to guide you with compassionate, personalized therapy for depression tailored to your unique situation, helping you regain control and rediscover hope.
