Depression Treatment & Psychiatric Care in Tempe, Arizona | Amicus Health & Wellness

Compassionate Mental Health Support to Help You Feel Like Yourself Again

Depression is a serious and common mental health condition that can affect how a person feels, thinks, and acts. It can touch every part of life — from work and relationships to energy, motivation, and self-worth.

At Amicus Health & Wellness in Tempe, Arizona, we provide personalized psychiatric care and evidence-based treatment to help you find relief, rebuild resilience, and rediscover joy in daily living.

Understanding Depression

Depression is more than feeling sad or having a rough day. It’s a persistent emotional state that lasts at least two weeks and interferes with daily functioning.

Common symptoms of depression include:

  • Feeling sad, anxious, irritable, or emotionally empty

  • Loss of interest in once-enjoyed activities

  • Poor concentration or difficulty making decisions

  • Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness

  • Changes in appetite or significant weight gain/loss

  • Persistent fatigue or low energy

  • Physical symptoms like headaches, muscle pain, or digestive problems

  • Thoughts of death, suicide, or self-harm

Depression can vary in intensity — from mild but lingering sadness to severe, immobilizing despair. Recognizing the signs early and seeking help can dramatically improve outcomes and quality of life.

Our Approach to Depression Treatment

At Amicus Health & Wellness, we combine medical expertise with compassionate care to create individualized treatment plans that address both the emotional and physical symptoms of depression.

Our approach includes:

  • Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to determine underlying causes and contributing factors.

  • Medication management tailored to each patient’s specific symptoms, ensuring safety and effectiveness.

  • Therapeutic support through referrals to trusted licensed therapists for cognitive and behavioral strategies.

  • Lifestyle and wellness counseling to support sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress management — vital components of recovery.

  • Regular follow-ups to monitor progress and adjust care for sustained improvement.

Our mission is to empower each patient with the tools, understanding, and medical care needed to achieve lasting mental and emotional stability.

 

Depression in Adults and Adolescents

Depression can affect anyone — regardless of age, background, or circumstance.
For adults, it may appear as burnout, loss of purpose, or chronic fatigue.
For teens and young adults, it can look like irritability, withdrawal, or struggles at school.

If you or a loved one is showing signs of depression, professional help can bring relief and renewed hope. You don’t have to face this alone.

When to Seek Professional Help

It may be time to reach out for care if you experience:

  • Persistent sadness or emptiness lasting more than two weeks

  • Loss of motivation or interest in daily life

  • Difficulty functioning at work, school, or home

  • Unexplained aches, fatigue, or sleep issues

  • Thoughts of suicide or self-harm

Depression is treatable. Seeking help is a sign of strength — and the first step toward healing.
