Depression
Everyone occasionally feels blue or
sad, especially executives and leaders of their industry that must
face a variety of challenges in their day-to-day lives, but these
feelings are usually temporary and pass within a couple of days.
However, when these types of feelings linger and begin to interfere
with daily life and normal functioning or begin to cause pain or
interfere not just to them but to other around them, it may be
Depression and it is critical to contact us for a comprehensive
evaluation and effective treatment. Depression is a common but
serious illness, and those who experience it need treatment to get
better.
Many people with a Depression never seek treatment. But the vast
majority, even those with the most severe depression, can get better
with treatment. Intensive research into the illness has resulted
in the development of medications, psychotherapies, and other
methods to treat people with what otherwise can be a personally and
professionally disabling disorder.
It is important to know that
the speed of recovery as well as being able to fully recover back to
one's normal baseline depends on how soon after onset that treatment
is delivered.
People with depressive illnesses
do not all experience the same symptoms. The severity, frequency and
duration of symptoms will vary depending on the individual and his
or her particular illness.
Symptoms of Depression
- Persistent sad, anxious or
"empty" feelings

and/or pessimism

Depression, even the most severe

the earlier that treatment can begin, the more effective it is and
the greater the likelihood that recurrence can be prevented.
