Understanding Depression: More Than Just Feeling Sad
Depression is not simply a passing mood—it's a persistent condition that affects emotions, energy, and daily function. While it's natural for moods to fluctuate, depression doesn’t align with the situation at hand. It can make life feel drained of color, leaving someone feeling empty, withdrawn, or overwhelmed. Unlike temporary sadness, depression persists, impacting relationships, work, and self-care. It’s important to understand that depression is not a sign of weakness, but something that can be managed with the right support and understanding.
Depression is More Common Than You Think
Depression affects millions of individuals around the world, including those who may appear to be thriving on the outside. In the U.S., one in five adults will experience depression at some point in their lives. In Maryland, depression is widespread, impacting individuals from all walks of life. Cultural stigma, lack of awareness, and the pressures of daily life can make it difficult to recognize the signs of depression. Even those with strong support systems can feel isolated or emotionally overwhelmed by the weight of their struggles.
What Causes Depression?
Depression is influenced by a blend of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. Stressful life transitions, unresolved trauma, chronic illness, grief, and the pressures of perfectionism can all contribute to its development. While each case is unique and there’s no single cause for everyone, it's important to remember that depression is treatable. With the right support, healing is not only possible but within reach.
Evidence-Based Depression Treatment Tailored for You
We use an integrative approach that works by reshaping unhelpful thought patterns, fostering emotional flexibility, and regulating the body's stress response.

Over time, individuals may reconnect with their inner strength, rebuild a sense of purpose, and experience lasting change.
