Depression is not always sadness. Often it’s depletion, numbness, or disconnection.
You may feel unmotivated, flat, or exhausted by daily life. Things that once mattered feel distant. Many women blame themselves for “not trying hard enough,” especially when they’re still functioning outwardly.
Medication can help when depression is persistent, recurrent, or not improving on its own. Choice and dosing matter, especially when there’s a history of partial response or side effects.
If past treatments haven’t helped, that doesn’t mean nothing will. Careful adjustment and patience often make the difference.
Depression frequently coexists with anxiety, sleep problems, or hormonal shifts. Care is tailored over time.
Conditions we treat
Depression
Do you feel emotionally flat, numb, or depleted most days?
Have interest or pleasure dropped significantly?
Does everything feel like more effort than it should?
Has your mood affected sleep, appetite, or concentration?
Have prior treatments helped only partially or briefly?
If you answered yes to even one of these, medication may be one part of a thoughtful treatment plan.
This is not a diagnosis. It’s a way to notice patterns that may be worth discussing.
