Depression involves changes in brain chemistry, structure, and function. It affects how you feel, think, and handle daily activities. Left untreated, it can worsen over time — but with the right care, most people see significant improvement.
At Starling Clinic, we take a whole-person approach: combining medication management, therapy coordination, and lifestyle interventions tailored to you.
Depression isn't one-size-fits-all. Recognizing the specific type helps us create the most effective treatment plan for you.
The most common form, characterized by persistent sadness, loss of interest, and impaired daily functioning lasting two weeks or more.
Also called dysthymia, this is a chronic, long-term form of depression lasting at least two years with milder but sustained symptoms.
Depressive episodes that occur as part of bipolar disorder, alternating with periods of elevated mood or mania.
