Depression & Anxiety Specialist Johnson City TN

Depression

Depression is a mood disorder that can cause persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest in activities, and changes in thoughts, behavior, and daily functioning. Individuals with depression may experience low energy, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness.

Depression is more than a temporary “low mood.” It is a medical condition that may require professional evaluation and long-term management, including therapy, lifestyle strategies, or medication when appropriate. Early support and intervention can improve outcomes and quality of life.

Anxiety

Anxiety is an emotional and physical response to stress or worry. It may include persistent tension, excessive worrying, or intrusive thoughts that interfere with daily activities. Physical symptoms can also occur, such as rapid heartbeat, trembling, sweating, or muscle tension.

Like depression, anxiety is a medical condition that benefits from proper evaluation and management. Treatment may involve lifestyle strategies, therapy, or medication under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Addressing anxiety early can help reduce its impact on overall health and well-being.
