Depression is the second most common mental disorder in the United States and is the most common reason for disability in America. Some symptoms include chronic fatigue, vague aches and pains, sleeping more than usual, trouble making decisions, confusion, and not enjoying activities you usually enjoy. Luckily, Chowchilla has some of the best therapists in the state.
Chowchilla has some fabulous things to do such as visiting the CR? Winery, R. C. Wisener Park, Edward Ray Park, and the Fossil Discovery Center of Madera County, which is a museum where you can see fossils from the Pleistocene period. With depression, you don’t usually feel like going anywhere but if you get treatment from one of the awesome Chowchilla therapists, you should be able to enjoy some of these places soon.
