Major Depressive Disorder

Innovative, Personalized Care for Lasting Relief

What is Major Depressive Disorder?

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), often simply referred to as depression, is a common but serious mental health condition that affects how a person feels, thinks, and handles daily activities. It goes beyond occasional sadness or low moods—it’s a persistent and often overwhelming experience of emotional, physical, and cognitive challenges that can significantly
impair one’s quality of life.

At Perfect Balance, we understand that depression is not a sign of weakness, but a complex medical condition that deserves compassionate, evidence-based care. MDD can manifest in many forms, from persistent sadness and loss of interest in activities to changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness.

Expert Treatment for
Major Depressive Disorder

At Perfect Balance, we offer a comprehensive range of treatment options for Major Depressive Disorder(MDD), designed to meet each patient’s unique needs.
