Depression in Adults and Seniors
No two cases of depression are exactly the same. Many people suffering from depression feel like they have no energy or have difficulty concentrating on even the smallest tasks. Others feel irritable all the time. If you feel sad, tired or lose interest in the people and things you used to love for more than two weeks, you may be clinically depressed.
Avera Behavioral Health Center is ready to help you to find practical solutions to mental health issues and build the customized treatment program you will receive in our active, engaging environment. And you can feel confident in knowing that everything we do is backed by our staff of compassionate, highly-trained professionals.
