Your mental health is just as important as your physical health ๐
Depression can affect energy levels, sleep, concentration, motivation, relationships, and overall well-being, and sometimes symptoms are easy to overlook or dismiss.
Thatโs why the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) recommends depression screening annually starting at age 18.
Mental health screenings are a simple but important part of preventive care and can help open the door to support, resources, and treatment when needed. You do not have to wait until things feel overwhelming to talk about your mental health.
If youโve been feeling persistently sad, anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or simply โnot like yourself,โ we encourage you to bring it up at your next appointment.
Our team is here to support your overall health with compassionate, judgment-free care.
