A blanket term for several specific disorders, "depression" often includes decreased pleasure or interest in usual activities, constant feelings of sadness, irritability, or tension, and occasional feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, or guilt. Other common symptoms are a loss of energy or ambition, change in appetite with substantial weight loss or weight gain, and a disruption in typical sleeping patterns. Few other disorders disrupt life as severely as depression. If you have noticed such symptoms in yourself or a loved one, call my office now to schedule a visit.
