Canton Medical Clinic

Comprehensive Care for Better Mental Health

‍

If you or a loved one are struggling with depression, you’re not alone. Depression is one of the most common mental health challenges, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. At Canton Medical Clinic, we understand the profound impact depression can have on your well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life. Our goal is to provide you with the support you need through comprehensive depression screening services, followed by improved access to psychiatric care and treatment.

Comprehensive Depression Screening

The first step in addressing depression is identifying it. Depression doesn’t always look the same for everyone, and many individuals may not even realize they’re suffering. The symptoms can range from persistent sadness and lack of energy to physical complaints like fatigue, sleep disturbances, or changes in appetite. Depression can also manifest through feelings of hopelessness, difficulty concentrating, or even thoughts of self-harm.

At Canton Medical Clinic, we offer a comprehensive depression screening process designed to detect the signs and symptoms of depression early. Our team of experienced healthcare professionals uses a combination of evidence-based assessment tools and personal interviews to gather an accurate understanding of your mental health. This thorough evaluation allows us to not only diagnose depression but also to understand the severity and specific characteristics of your condition.

How long does the screening take?

The depression screening process typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. It involves filling out a questionnaire, followed by a one-on-one discussion with one of our healthcare providers who will review your responses and discuss any further steps for treatment if needed.
