What is depression?
Depression is a mental health disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed. It can affect a person’s thoughts, behavior, emotions, and physical well-being, leading to difficulties in daily functioning. Symptoms may include changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of worthlessness or guilt. Depression can result from various factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, environmental stressors, and trauma, and it often requires professional treatment, such as therapy, medication, or a combination of both.
How do we treat depression?
We treat depression through a combination of methods, including psychotherapy (such as cognitive behavioral therapy), medication (like antidepressants), lifestyle changes (such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep), and therapy. We will work together to determine the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and circumstances.
How effective is depression treatment?
The effectiveness of depression treatment varies among individuals and depends on factors like the type of treatment, severity of symptoms, and individual responsiveness. Common treatment options—including psychotherapy, medication (such as antidepressants), and lifestyle changes—have been shown to improve symptoms for many people. A combination of treatments often yields the best results. Overall, about 60-80% of individuals with depression respond positively to treatment, although some may require adjustments or alternative approaches to find what works best for them. We encourage you to get help right away if you are struggling with depression.
Having seen previous physicians, I can state with certainty that Dr. Adigun provides care and attention to detail that go above and beyond what I would anticipate from a new physician. For the first time, I felt that a skilled doctor who was present and actively involved in my care was paying attention to my worries. Personalized care is a welcome change in a field where it is frequently absent. I wholeheartedly endorse her to anyone in need of high-quality mental health care.
