Depression and anxiety are two of the most common issues for which patients seek medical attention. Often specific terms such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, Dysthymia, obsessive-compulsive disorder or generalized anxiety disorder are used to describe the symptoms.
Most individuals tend to fluctuate from one subtype to another. Conventional medicine will typically prescribe one or more of a number of antidepressant or antipsychotic medications to help patients deal with the symptoms. Seldom is any underlying cause sought out to help the patient improve.
At Wycoff Wellness we take a different approach. We utilize a bigger “toolbox” in our practice and have a number of specific tests and treatments to improve your mood symptoms.
A number of medical issues are associated with depression and anxiety including:
