Depression is often characterized by feelings of being sad, discouraged, hopeless, irritable, unmotivated, as well as a general lack of interest or pleasure in life. When these feelings last for a short period of time, it may be called a passing case of “the blues”. But when they last for more than two weeks and interfere with regular daily activities its likely to be a depressive disorder. Depression can develop from a complex combination of factors, this is why our clinic shines through treating the whole body. These factors can include genetics, brain chemistry, lifestyle, environment, personality and stress.
