Depressive Disorders

Individuals who suffer from depression can battle it for years or have it take hold in certain circumstances. Depression can manifest itself in many forms. Dr. John H. Thomas can help you properly diagnose and treat a variety of depressive disorders.

Major Depression can last for years and become debilitating. Struggling just to get out of bed can become a chore some days. Additionally, Major Depression can also lead to suicidal thoughts and behavior, impaired self-concept, and low self-esteem. Dr. Thomas is truly dedicated to helping his clients crawl out from this difficult form of depression.

Persistent Depressive Disorder is known as the "walking blues". It can last up to two years or more, as an individual struggles to keep a foothold in their day-to-day life. Persistent Depressive Disorder can effect your family, job, and relationships but you can begin to feel like yourself again with the help of Dr. Thomas.

The dark, cold winter weather can leave many people feeling sad and alone. This can be in part due to the lack of sunlight as well as a lack of social contact. Even the holiday season can bring people down. Dr. Thomas is well-versed in treating Seasonal Affective Disorder (or S.A.D.).
