Depression, and how it affects the brain.
Major depression is a common yet serious mental illness that causes low mood as well as several physical symptoms. Depression, especially when it goes untreated, can change the brain, making episodes worse or more frequent. It also impacts the body and physical health, causing fatigue, digestive issues, pain, and other complications related to poor decisions made when in a depressed mood. Treatment, especially dedicated residential treatment, can provide relief from depression symptoms and can begin to reverse the damage done to the brain and body.
