✨ Loss of interest or pleasure in most or all normal activities
✨ Sleep disturbances, including insomnia or sleeping too much
✨ Tiredness and lack of energy, so even small tasks take extra effort
✨ Reduced appetite and weight loss or increased cravings for food and weight gain
✨ Anxiety, agitation or restlessness
✨ Slowed thinking, speaking or body movements
✨ Feelings of worthlessness or guilt, fixating on past failures or self-blame

Complementary Health Approaches we offer that may help:
✨ Acupuncture: It stimulates the body's ability to resist or overcome illness by correcting imbalances. It also prompts the body to produce chemicals that decrease or eliminate painful sensations.
✨ Massage: It supports the mind-body connection, allowing for a better awareness of what is happening in our bodies.
✨ Cupping: It works to eliminate disease-causing pathogens as well as remove toxins, impurities, dead cells, lymph and other debris from the body. As blood circulation improves and the cells receive a fresh infusion of blood that is rich with oxygen and nutrients the patient can feel the depression fading away.
