Depression Program
Depression is not a passing mood, nor a personal weakness—it’s
a medical condition. More that 19 million Americans (950,000 in
Michigan) suffer from some form of depression. Research suggests
that most people can be successfully treated for depression.
Make the most of treatment. Treatment is a partnership between
you and your health care provider. Ask questions and be informed.
