Depression drains energy and the ability to think clearly, making it difficult for you to manage work and relationships.

How is Depression Diagnosed?

A formal diagnosis starts with a comprehensive evaluation by a licensed mental health professional (psychiatrist or psychologist), focusing on your symptoms, medical history, co-occurring disorders, and medication history.
  • We evaluate your emotional symptoms and behavior patterns.
  • Our professionals review your personal and family medical history.
  • CPG’s clinical use tools, such as the PHQ-9, to measure the severity of symptoms.
