Death of a loved one, bio-chemical imbalance, loss of job, divorce - these are a few of the potential triggers for the conditions known as clinical anxiety or depression. Affecting 17 million Americans (nearly one in ten) per year, depression can destroy family life as well as the life of the ill person. But much of this suffering is unnecessary.
Because these conditions can affect the way a person eats and sleeps, feels about oneself, and thinks about others, the Samaritan Center's holistic approach is particularly well-suited to address the complex, relational issues involved. Seeing hundreds of clients with these issues over the past three decades, the Center offers faith-based, goal-oriented guidance that helps develop effective coping and behavioral skills in all age groups.
