Depression

Depression, clinically known as Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), is a mental health condition marked by persistent low mood, loss of interest, and reduced energy. It’s more than just feeling “down”—it can disrupt sleep, appetite, and daily functioning. At Nucleus Psychiatry Medical Inc., we provide compassionate, evidence-based care to help you navigate depression and reclaim your life.
