What Is Depression?

Depression is a mood disorder that affects how you feel, think, and function. It goes way beyond occasional sadness and can impact your energy, motivation, sleep, and ability to focus.

Some people experience persistent low mood, while others may feel emotionally numb or disconnected. Symptoms can vary, but they often last for weeks or longer and interfere with daily life.

Common Symptoms of Depression

Depression can show up in different ways. You may notice:

  • Ongoing sadness or emptiness
  • Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
  • Low energy or fatigue
  • Changes in sleep (too much or too little)
  • Changes in appetite or weight
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Feelings of hopelessness or disconnection

If these symptoms are affecting your ability to function, it’s likely time to seek support.

Bipolar Therapy and Ongoing Support

Don’t wait until things feel severe to reach out.
It may be time to seek help if:

  • Symptoms last more than two weeks
  • Daily responsibilities feel harder to manage
  • You feel withdrawn from others
  • Your mood is affecting your work, school, or relationships

Early support can help prevent symptoms from becoming more difficult to manage over time.

Depression Treatment Options at MyWellbrook

Everyone’s experience is different, so we shape care around what you are going through.

Therapy for Depression

Therapy helps you understand patterns in your thoughts and behaviors while building tools to manage symptoms. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is commonly used to support depression treatment.

Medication Management

For some individuals, depression medication¹ can help improve mood and restore balance. Our clinicians carefully evaluate whether medication is appropriate and monitor your progress over time.

Pharmacogenomic Testing (GeneSight)

Genetic testing may help guide medication selection by showing how your body may respond to certain medications, reducing trial-and-error.
