Depression Treatment in Houston, TX
Depression isn't just sadness — it's a mood disorder that affects how you feel, think, and behave day to day. Below, what it is, how it shows up, when to seek help, and how we treat it at TRS Health.
Please note: TRS Health does not prescribe controlled substances.
What is depression?
Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of loss of interest and sadness. It can affect how you feel, think, and behave, and it can lead to a variety of physical and emotional problems that affect your day to day life — unlike sadness, which is a more temporary feeling.

- Anxiety, agitation, or restlessness
- Angry outbursts, irritability, or frustration over small matters
- Tiredness and lack of energy
- Loss of interest or pleasure in most or all normal activities
- Suicidal thoughts or feelings
- Family history of depression
- Past physical, sexual, or emotional abuse
- Certain medications including isotretinoin, corticosteroids, or interferon-alpha
- Major life events such as divorce, losing a job or income, or retiring
- Death or loss of a loved one

When to see a doctor
If you feel depressed, make an appointment to see your doctor or mental health professional — which you can do here at TRS Health. If you're reluctant to seek treatment, first talk to a friend or loved one, any general healthcare provider, faith leader, or someone you trust.
Emergency help
If you think you might hurt yourself or attempt suicide, call 911 immediately. You can also call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If you have a loved one in danger of suicide, make sure someone stays with that person and call 911, or take them to the nearest emergency room if you can do so safely.
You don't have to figure this out alone. Book an in-person or telehealth consultation with a mental health provider.

"I thought I had a pinched nerve in my back and had been getting the run around for months with other places. Turns out it wasn't a pinched nerve, it was 100 percent blocked arteries! Because of this place and the caring people that operate it, I am alive! There was no bs, no games, just straight forward common sense medical practice! Life saving and refreshing!!"
