Depression
Depression is more than a bad week. Low mood, loss of interest, low energy, and changes in sleep or appetite that persist can make everyday life feel heavy. You do not have to figure out the next step alone.

What it can look like
- Feeling down, empty, or hopeless most of the day, more days than not
- Losing interest in things you used to enjoy
- Sleeping much more or much less than usual
- Low energy, trouble concentrating, or feeling slowed down
- Feeling worthless or excessively guilty
These are common experiences, not a checklist for self-diagnosis. A comprehensive evaluation is how we understand what is going on for you specifically.
How NCNE can help
- A thorough evaluation, including what has and has not helped before
- An individualized plan built around your goals — medication where appropriate, alongside therapy and lifestyle support
- Regular follow-up visits to track progress and fine-tune treatment
- Coordination with your primary care team as needed, so care feels joined up
About medication
Medication is one option among several. At NCNE we believe meaningful care goes beyond writing prescriptions — a thorough evaluation, collaboration, education, and an individualized plan come first, and supplements, lifestyle changes, a referral for therapy where it would help, and coordination with your primary care team as needed are all part of the conversation are part of the conversation.
