Depression is a common but serious condition that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think, and how you act. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and decrease your ability to enjoy a fulfilling life. A mental health study revealed that almost 33% of adults in Indiana reported experiencing symptoms of anxiety and/or depression in the recent past. Depression can have various causes and effects on different people’s lives. The frontline treatment for depression is typically antidepressant medication as prescribed by a doctor. However, people can experience differing levels of relief from antidepressants. Some people need a different or supplemental treatment to experience complete relief. We believe it’s important for each patient to get the personalized care that will bring them the best results.
What Are Common Depression Symptoms?
Depression symptoms and the severity can vary:
- Feeling sad or having a depressed mood
- Loss of interest or pleasure in activities you once enjoyed
- Appetite changes – weight loss or weight gain
- Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
- Fatigue or loss of energy
- Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Thoughts of death or suicide
When Is Depression Treatment-Resistant?
Studies suggest that approximately 29%-46% of people suffering from depression don’t respond fully to antidepressants. When someone can’t get full relief from antidepressants, we call this treatment-resistant depression. Treatment-resistant depression is not uncommon and there are still other solutions that can help bring full relief. We offer personalized treatment with Spravato, which can be a supplemental or alternative treatment for depression. If you or a loved one haven’t experienced full relief from antidepressants, Indiana Advanced Psychiatry may be able to help!
