"The flight from shame to grandiosity lies at the heart of male covert depression"
Terry Real
Depression does not discriminate. It does not care how old you are, man or woman, child, teen, race, or religion. Depression manifests itself in many ways and sometimes requires pharmacological help alongside talk therapy to be effective. Clinicians treating depression and especially major depressive disorder hope to help the client decrease the overall depressive symptoms. This can mean the depressive symptoms are completely eradicated, however, it's more likely that the goal would be to reduce to a manageable level. For some, that progress can mean the difference between not being able to get out of bed and managing all your responsibilities with little to no difficulty.
Our clinicians will meet you where you are at today, listen to how you are doing, and work with you to help you get where you want to be. Research shows that 80%-90% of individuals seeking psychotherapy for depression feel a decrease in depressive symptoms after seeking treatment.
