Depression is a common yet serious mental health disorder that affects mood, energy, and daily functioning. Symptoms can include persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, fatigue, changes in sleep and appetite, and difficulty concentrating.

At Malik Medical Center, we provide comprehensive depression treatment to address both the emotional and physical impacts of this condition.

Causes of Depression

Depression can result from a combination of factors, including:

• Genetics: Family history of depression increases risk

• Brain chemistry: Imbalance of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine

• Life events: Trauma, loss, or chronic stress

• Medical conditions: Chronic illness or hormonal changes

Understanding the underlying causes is critical for effective treatment.

Different forms of depression require tailored treatment approaches:

• Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): Severe symptoms affecting daily life

• Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia): Long-term, less severe symptoms

• Bipolar Depression: Depression occurring with mood swings

• Postpartum Depression: Occurring after childbirth

• Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Depression linked to seasonal changes
