Screening, diagnosis, and treatment of anxiety and depression with medication and referral to therapy when needed.
What is Anxiety & Depression Management?
Anxiety and depression are serious mental health conditions that affect your mood, energy, sleep, appetite, and ability to function. Anxiety involves excessive worry, panic attacks, and physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, while depression causes persistent sadness, loss of interest, fatigue, and feelings of hopelessness. These conditions often co-occur and can be triggered by genetics, life stressors, trauma, medical conditions, or medications. Treatment options include antidepressant medications (SSRIs, SNRIs), anti-anxiety medications, psychotherapy (CBT, talk therapy), lifestyle modifications (exercise, sleep hygiene, stress management), and in severe cases, referral to psychiatrists for advanced treatment. It's essential to see a doctor because untreated mental health conditions worsen over time, increase suicide risk, and can cause physical health problems. Your doctor can properly diagnose your condition, rule out medical causes (thyroid issues, vitamin deficiencies), prescribe appropriate medications with monitoring, and coordinate with therapists for comprehensive care.
