 For more than 30 years, Jayne Lessard has been
treating a variety of psychological issues as a
licensed counselor in North Carolina. Some disorders,
including depression, can be difficult to manage,
although treatment is possible with proper attention.
Jayne Lessard has helped many patients successfully
manage their depression.
Over 350 million people endure depression around
the globe. The disease also causes about 1 million
suicides every year, marking it as a serious disorder
that commands immediate attention. Incorrect
diagnoses and a lack of treatment options often
delay healing for patients, in spite of the variety of
options for managing the illness.
 Depression is recognizable by signs ranging
from an inability to get out of bed and
feelings of worthlessness to sad or empty
feelings that will not cease and/or manic
episodes.
Psychotherapy, counseling, medications, or
some combination of these are common
forms of treatment. Symptoms associated
with depression can multiply or become
chronic if it is left untreated, making it
important to seek early intervention.
