When the Weight Won’t Lift
Depression isn’t simply “a bad day” — for many adults it becomes a slow drain of energy, interest, and hope, quietly pulling the color out of sleep, work, and relationships. It’s the morning when you can’t find the strength to get out of bed, the heaviness that refuses to lift, and the inner voice that whispers “nothing will ever change.”
At La Lune Integrative Psychiatry, we understand depression speaks through your body and mind. Whether you’re grappling with persistent sadness, loss of motivation, or a growing apathy that seems unshakable — your experience is real, and it deserves compassionate care, not dismissal.
Signs Depression May Be Deepening and Affecting Your Quality of Life
When depression becomes a pattern, you may find:
Loss of interest or pleasure in activities you once enjoyed, or a sense that “nothing matters” anymore.
Persistent fatigue, slowed thinking or movement, restlessness, or trouble sleeping and eating.
Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or finding meaning, even in the small moments.
Withdrawal from friends, family, or life activities, often to avoid the weight of the day.
A sense of hopelessness or self-criticism that keeps returning despite your best efforts.
This isn’t simply “temporary sadness,” though sadness plays a role. Depression becomes distressing when it interferes with how you live — when your internal light dims even when your circumstances haven’t changed.
How We Approach Treatment at La Lune Integrative Psychiatry
1. Comprehensive Assessment
Each treatment plan begins with a detailed evaluation of your symptoms, history, and health background to uncover the factors contributing to depression.
2. Lab & Biochemical Insight
We review relevant lab work to identify underlying imbalances — such as thyroid issues, nutrient deficiencies, or hormonal changes — that may affect mood and energy.
3. Genetic & Medication-Response Testing
When indicated, pharmacogenetic testing helps us understand how your body metabolizes medications, guiding more precise and effective choices.
4. Lifestyle Coaching
We focus on daily habits that influence well-being — sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress management — offering coaching to support gradual, sustainable change.
5. Coping Strategies & Mind-Body Skills
Therapy sessions include practical tools like mindfulness, behavioral activation, and cognitive strategies to help you manage thoughts and emotions more effectively.
