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.
