Child and adolescent depression
Major depression affects 3-5% of children, negatively impacting growth and development, school performance, and relationships.
We believe in understanding and caring for the whole person. This is why Dignity Health Medical Foundation physicians look at the mind, body, and spirit connection, especially when it comes to behavioral health. This practice refers to the connection of behaviors between health and well-being.
Over the past few years, behavioral health has developed to include behaviors like eating habits, drinking, and mental health. Behavioral and mental health have begun to be used interchangeably. However, there is a difference between them: behavioral looks at both physical and mental concerns.
Our licensed professionals specialize in adding more life to your years with experience helping individuals experiencing behavioral health conditions. Our specially trained staff of board-certified psychiatrists, doctors, and licensed professionals are committed to providing compassionate, quality care and creating an atmosphere that fosters communication, trust, and personal growth.
