Signs of Clinical Depression
Clinical depression is more than feeling sad or unhappy for a while. Depression is a serious mental health issue that can affect many aspects of your health and life. Major Depressive Disorder sometimes referred to as Clinical Depression, is the leading cause of disability for individuals aged fifteen to forty-four. More than 61.1 million American adults struggle with this debilitating disorder. Depression is also highly treatable and has seen the greatest success when being treated with a combination of medication professional therapy. Next Level Recovery can assist in your journey out of depression, with their highly skilled team of clinicians.
