Episode 105: Understanding depression with Dr. Andrew Greene
The Ottawa Hospital's mental health program provides early diagnosis and treatment of severe mental illness.
Major depressive disorder is a mental health condition in which someone is feeling very low and not able to enjoy things the way they normally would over a prolonged period. It's persistent and can go on for months or even years but there is hope. In this episode, we learn more about depression with Dr. Andrew Greene, a psychiatrist at The Ottawa Hospital. (19:42)
If you know someone who may be suffering from depression and needs help, the best place to start is by visiting your family doctor. If you don't have access to a family doctor, you can go to AccessMHA.ca.
If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, you can call or text 9-8-8: where a crisis supporter will help you without judgment or go to the nearest emergency department.
