Understanding depression and assessment
Depression can affect mood, interest, sleep, energy and everyday functioning. Its causes and presentation vary. A qualified professional can assess symptoms and consider other possible explanations.
NIMH’s guide to depression explains forms of depression and the assessment process. Our resources on major depressive disorder and grief support offer related reading. Grief should not automatically be labeled depression.
Changes worth discussing with a professional
Changes in sleep, appetite, concentration or interest in everyday activities can be reasons to seek a professional assessment. These experiences alone do not establish a diagnosis.
For more detail, read NIMH’s explanation of depression symptoms. If you or someone you know is struggling or having thoughts of suicide, call or text 988. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
Clinical care and treatment planning
The residential program includes therapy and treatment planning. The team can explain how an assessment informs the approaches considered for a particular person.
Read about therapy at Foundation Stone Wellness, CBT and DBT. Ask which approaches are relevant to your concerns, who provides them and how progress would be discussed.
