Depression (also called major depressive disorder or clinical depression) is a common but serious mood disorder. It causes severe symptoms that affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working.
To be diagnosed with depression, the symptoms must be present for at least two weeks.
Promising Outlook utilizes a personalized multi-pronged approach to treatment of depression called an intensive outpatient program (IOP) to provide direct support to adults.

There are different types of depression, some of which develop due to specific circumstances.
Individuals with bipolar disorder (formerly called manic depression or manic-depressive illness) also experience depressive episodes, in which they feel sad, indifferent, or hopeless, combined with a very low activity level. But a person with bipolar disorder also experiences manic episodes, or unusually elevated moods in which the individual might feel very happy, irritable, or “up,” with a marked increase in activity level.
Not everyone who is depressed experiences every symptom. Some people experience only a few symptoms while others may experience many. Several persistent symptoms in addition to low mood are required for a diagnosis of major depression, but people with only a few – but distressing – symptoms may benefit from treatment as well. The severity and frequency of symptoms and how long they last will vary depending on the individual and his or her particular illness. Symptoms may also vary depending on the stage of the illness.
If you have been experiencing some of the following signs and symptoms most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks, you may be suffering from depression:
Depression, even the most severe cases, can be treated. The earlier treatment begins, the more effective it is.
Getting mental healthcare can be difficult when you’re living with depression. Depression’s symptoms make it hard to get dressed, get out of the house, go to school, and participate in sports or other activities.
Every person’s experience with depression is unique to them. That’s why a well rounded combination of treatment options is usually the most effective way to sustainably treat depression.
What works for one patient may not be sufficient for another. It’s essential to work with a qualified mental health care provider to get a personalized care plan to fit your needs.
