Depression & Mood Disorder Treatment

Professional psychiatric care tailored to your emotional well-being

Feeling stuck in a fog you can’t explain?

Some days feel heavy. You might find yourself going through the motions — getting dressed, answering emails, even smiling at friends — but inside, something feels off. The joy feels distant. Motivation fades. Even simple tasks become overwhelming.
This isn’t laziness, weakness, or failure. It could be depression. And if that’s the case, there is help — and hope.
At American Wellness Center, we understand the complex ways depression shows up in adults. Our team provides compassionate, evidence-based care to help you reclaim your clarity and emotional balance.


You’re Not Alone If...

You may recognize yourself in some of the following experiences:
  • Struggling to get out of bed or face the day.
  • Feeling emotionally flat, numb, or disconnected.
  • Losing interest in things you once enjoyed.
  • Battling persistent sadness, guilt, or low self-worth.
  • Experiencing appetite, sleep, or energy changes.
  • Withdrawing from loved ones or avoiding work and social events.
  • Facing thoughts of hopelessness or not wanting to continue.

You don’t need to wait for a breakdown to seek help. If your emotional state is affecting your quality of life, that’s enough reason to reach out.


What We Treat

Our psychiatrists and mental health specialists work with adults experiencing:
  • Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): Persistent sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest affecting daily life.
  • Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia): Ongoing low mood lasting two years or more, often with fatigue and low motivation.
  • Postpartum Depression: Mood disturbances that develop after childbirth, including sadness, anxiety, or emotional detachment.
  • Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Depression linked to seasonal changes, typically during darker winter months.
  • Mood Disorders Linked to Hormonal Shifts, Chronic Illness, or Life Transitions: Emotional struggles triggered by menopause, thyroid changes, long-term illness, or major life events.
  • Treatment-Resistant Depression: Depression that hasn’t improved with standard medications or therapy approaches.
  • Depression as Part of Bipolar Disorder: Intense low mood episodes alternating with emotional highs (mania or hypomania).

How We Can Help

Every person’s experience with depression is different — so we don’t use one-size-fits-all solutions. Your journey begins with understanding, not judgment.

Initial Psychiatric Evaluation

You’ll meet with a licensed psychiatrist who will conduct a detailed consultation. This includes discussing symptoms, emotional patterns, medical history, and lifestyle factors that may contribute to your mood.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on your needs, we may recommend:
  • Safe and appropriate medication (if indicated)
  • Referrals for psychotherapy (such as CBT, ACT, or trauma-focused therapy)
  • Nutritional, hormonal, or neurological screening if symptoms are multifaceted
  • Lifestyle and sleep recommendations that support emotional stability

Ongoing Support

Our care doesn’t stop at diagnosis. We provide:
  • Regular follow-ups to assess progress and adjust medication if needed.
  • Coordination with psychologists or therapists if combined care is beneficial.
  • Alternatives like TMS therapy for individuals who don’t respond well to medication.
