Depression is one of the most common mental disorders in the world and immensely impacts the healthcare industry and the economy. The condition disproportionately affects young adults - according to the American Psychiatry Association, adults under 34 years of age accounted for 48% of all adults with depression in 2018, and this number has increased since the pandemic. One study conducted by the Analysis Group, Inc. also noted that untreated depression often incurs high financial costs on individuals and their families through emergency room visits, reduced workplace productivity, absenteeism, and suicide-related costs.

Individuals who suspect that they suffer from depression can use Mission Connection’s PHQ-9 test, a self-report screening test that has been clinically developed for diagnosing, monitoring, and measuring the severity of the condition. The treatment center says that while the tool cannot substitute for a clinical diagnosis, it can be used to track moods, and the results will offer insight into whether professional medical care should be a consideration. Depending on the individual’s score, Mission Connection’s website will also provide mental health resources that they can look into to learn more about and manage their condition.

As an outpatient treatment center, Mission Connection itself offers many nonmedical treatment options for depression and related mental disorders. Its holistic approach includes evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based techniques designed to help individuals understand the underlying causes behind their symptoms. As part of the treatment, Mission Connection’s therapists will also focus on helping patients develop coping strategies to facilitate long-term mental wellness.

“We understand the debilitating impact of depression and the importance of seeking help,” says a company spokesperson. “At Mission Connection, we are committed to providing you with comprehensive, compassionate, and effective treatment that can lead to positive changes in your life.”
