Depression Treatment in Phoenix

It is estimated that more than 17 million adults in the United States (7.1%) experience at least one episode of major depression each year. Additionally, over 2 million adolescents aged 12-17 experience a major depressive episode each year. Most concerning is that 35% of adults and 60% of adolescents did not receive treatment.

When you have depression, you feel sad, empty, helpless, or hopeless almost every day, and the feelings generally last all day long for at least two weeks. It is normal to feel sad or anxious from time to time, but the feelings that come with depression are much stronger and persistent than the “ups and downs” of everyday life.

Feelings of major depression usually interfere with day-to-day activities with your family, school, at work, or in other social situations. Sometimes depression involves irritability, and may also cause physical symptoms such as fatigue, sleep difficulties, and weight changes. In severe cases, depression can also cause hopelessness, isolation and suicidal thoughts.

Depression may happen in a single episode or be a recurrent condition through youth and adulthood. At Uptown Psychiatry our approach to treatment often involves medications and other elements of an individualized treatment program to help you be more resilient, manage your symptoms, improve your everyday functioning, and achieve your personal goals.

I was very excited when I finally got an appointed years ago after being on the waitlist. It was a relief to finally seek/afford treatment. Uptown Psychiatry has had 3 different practice locations over the years since I began going to them. In the beginning it was difficult to get someone on the phone but luckily Klara was a very useful means of communication. I could send a question or concern in the app and the response was always kind and helpful. They were eager to help fix any problem I was having with medication. They were caring and understanding. I felt supported. Now questions I send are answered by the receptionist and the response is cold and dismissive. Like it’s an inconvenience.

I've worked in the medical field for years, as well as been a psychiatric patient for years. I can say, without a doubt, Brooke Morrow is the most genuine, caring mental health provider I've ever been treated by or worked with. Highly, highly recommend!
