Understanding depression
Depression is more than just feeling sad or having a bad day. It’s a serious mental health condition that affects how you think, feel, and handle daily activities. Many people experience depression at some point in their lives, and it can have a significant impact on their relationships, work, and overall well-being. At Dynamic Psychiatry, we understand the challenges that come with depression, and we are here to provide compassionate care and effective treatment.
