Understanding Depression

Depression, or Major Depressive Disorder, is a mood disorder characterized by persistent sadness and a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can lead to a range of emotional and physical problems, including changes in sleep, appetite, energy levels, and concentration. These symptoms can significantly interfere with daily functioning and overall quality of life.

Testimonials

Five filled dark teal stars representing a five-star rating

I was referred to Dr. Shay Burns to get tested for autism and ADHD as an adult. I was really impressed! After only a few hours of interviews and testing, she wrote a report about me that showed she understood me at a deep level. Plus she’s very friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to.
