Improving the lives of people with depression and mood disorders through clinical excellence, innovative research, community programs, and education.
Common Conditions We Treat
Major depressive disorder, often referred to as depression, is a common illness that can affect anyone. For the average American, it estimated that about 20% of people will experience depression at one point in their lives. It is estimated that over 19 million Americans will experience some form of depression each year.
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive disorder, is a common mood disorder in which people have periods of extreme mood swings that can range from manic highs to severe depression. Bipolar disorder affects at least one in 70 people. In the United States, approximately 6 million adults have bipolar disorder.
Anxiety disorders are the most common of emotional disorders and affect more than 25 million Americans. Anxiety disorders differ from normal feelings of nervousness. Untreated anxiety disorders can push people into avoiding situations that trigger or worsen their symptoms.
