Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide affecting both men and women of all age groups.  If untreated, depression can lead to other serious illnesses and even death by suicide.  

The good news is that recent discoveries in the diagnosis and treatment of depression have significantly increased the opportunity for recovery.  These new lines of treatment include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Lifestyle Medicine. If you are thinking of seeking treatment for yourself or for a loved one, you are not alone — we are here to help!

Are You Sure If It's Depression?

We understand the sensitivity of mental health issues.  It's therefore our promise to treat you with dignity and to respect your privacy.

What Is Causing Your Depression?

Just like any other disease, depression never comes without a cause. Research shows that there are many possible causes (risk factors) of depression all interacting to produce it, and these factors are different for every individual.

Our Comprehensive Depression Assessment will tell you how many and which risk factors you have, and will also give you a detailed report on what can be done to reverse or eliminate these risk factors. You will be assessed in the following areas:

1. Your Genetics
2. Your Past Experiences
3. Your Nutrition
4. Your Social Relationships & Any Traumatic Life Events
5. Your Physical Activity
6. Your Sleep / Wake Cycles (Circadian Rhythm)
7. Any Addictions You Might Have
8. Possible Toxins Affecting You
9. Medical Conditions
10. Your Frontal Lobe (Brain) Health

If you have risk factors in four or more of these areas, then you are highly likely to be depressed. But remember, recovery is possible if you know what to 'fix'.
