A Deeper Look into Depression
Depression is more than just feeling sad or going through a rough patch; it’s a serious mental health condition that affects mood, thoughts, and daily activities. Our research aims to delve into the intricacies of depression, particularly focusing on why some individuals do not respond to standard treatments, known as Treatment-Resistant Depression.
