Anxiety and Depression

Depression is defined as a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest that interferes with your daily functioning. Anxiety is an overarching term that describes a feeling of fear or dread. While this can be a normal reaction to certain stressors, we suggest seeing a healthcare provider when these feelings start to affect your day-to-day life.

Anxiety and Depression have been rapidly increasing in today’s society, with marginalized groups being more commonly affected.

While this can be a normal reaction to certain stressors, we suggest seeing a healthcare provider when these feelings start to affect your day-to-day life.

Although mental health conditions can be just that, anxiety and depression can be a result of other underlying conditions. For example: thyroid disorders, adrenal dysfunction, blood sugar dysregulation, anemias, and intestinal dysbiosis, to name a few. Additionally, there are many disorders that fall under Anxiety-related and Depressive disorders that require further investigation.
