Major Depressive Disorder Overview

Major Depressive Disorder, also commonly called clinical depression, is one of the most common mental health disorders experienced in adults. It affects nearly 16.1 million people at any time in the U.S. alone. Typically, people with MDD experience a consistently depressed mood that significantly impacts their ability to function in daily activities. These feelings may continue uninterrupted for up to two weeks or longer and can seriously diminish almost every aspect of one's quality of life. Dealing with Major Depressive Disorder can be both exhausting and demoralizing when alone, but it is a problem many people have gone through, and professional help is available.

Signs & Symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder

Like all kinds of depression, Major Depressive Disorder is characterized by feelings of intense loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, and fatigue. What sets Major Depressive Disorder apart is that these feelings are nearly constant over a prolonged period. Without treatment, this can lead to severe personal and professional consequences, declines in health, and an increased risk of suicide.

Signs and Symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder

In addition to the feelings mentioned above, there are various signs and symptoms for Major Depressive Disorder, many of which feature alternate extremes. These include:

Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
Insomnia or excessive sleeping
Loss of appetite or binge eating
Aches, pains, or digestive problems
Irritability or frustration
A persistent feeling of emptiness
Suicidal thoughts or attempt

When to Get Help for Major Depressive Disorder

What Treatments Are Available for Major Depressive Disorder?

At MidValley Healthcare, we specialize in three primary treatments for Major Depressive Disorder. These are:

Traditionally, depressive disorders are treated with a combination of antidepressant medications and ongoing psychotherapy to learn healthy coping skills, address contributing factors, and evaluate your progress. An alternative option is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation therapy. It is a medication-free treatment that involves stimulating specific areas of the brain in control of mood, helping you regain the ability to function normally. In either case, getting treatment is essential for maintaining your mental health and preventing the oppressive effects of major depression.

I have been working with Zana for 3 years, I have never had a mental health professional care so much about my wellbeing and making sure my medications are working. If you are struggling- I highly recommend booking an appt with her.

I’m sorry for the people that can’t pay for services.... their reviews aren’t fair to Midvalley. There are state related programs that are offered for those who have no or little money. You can’t expect to get a hand out when your in crisis. There are hotlines and other resources available 24/7. With that said..... the counseling and medication management I’ve received has been great. The council given by Cathie has been excellent. She listens and suggests things to work on... but you have to put in the work and want to get better. If your willing and ready for treatment, it’s available and they do an awesome job of taking care of their patients. I’ve had to cancel several appointments and even had to cancel an appointment an hour before hand because I was at another appt and couldn’t get there in time. I explained that and they didn’t charge me for the visit. They understand life happens. Give credit where credit is due and be courteous to others with respect and you will be pleasantly surprised that it will go along ways. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for some help.
