Treatment
Depression and Co-Occurring Disorders
Do you struggle from depressive symptoms? You are not alone. Almost 7% of people in the United States have had at least one major depressive episode in the past year. Depression does not have a single cause. It can be triggered by a life crisis, physical illness or something else—but it can also occur spontaneously. Contact psychologist Dr. Cantu to learn more about cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
