One may meet diagnostic criteria during a structured interview, another may report symptoms in a survey, and another may report a diagnosis received from a healthcare professional. As public awareness, screening practices, access to care, and the language around mental health have changed, depression has become more visible in the United States.
- [The History of TMS: A Non-Invasive Breakthrough for Mental Health](https://www.magnusmedical.com/blog/history-of-tms/): Living with treatment-resistant depression can be an exhausting journey. Trying multiple antidepressant medications that fail to bring relief often leaves individuals and their loved ones feeling fatigued and searching for ways to get help for depression.

- [Why SAINT® Is Setting New Standards for Patient Recovery](https://www.magnusmedical.com/blog/saint-therapy-for-depression/): Those living with depression that hasn't responded to medication already know the feeling: another prescription, another six-to-eight-week wait to see if it works, another disappointment if it doesn't. For many people with depression, that cycle can stretch on for years.
- [Clinical Depression vs. Bipolar Depression: Key Differences and Treatments](https://www.magnusmedical.com/blog/clinical-depression-vs-bipolar-depression/): A note on this article: SAINT® for depression is FDA-cleared for the treatment of adults with treatment-resistant Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). It is not currently cleared for the treatment of bipolar depression. This article discusses the differences between clinical depression and bipolar depression for educational purposes; where bipolar depression is mentioned, it is not a claim or suggestion that SAINT is an appropriate treatment for it.
- [Getting Help for High-Functioning Depression](https://www.magnusmedical.com/blog/treatment-for-high-functioning-depression/): You meet every deadline. You show up for your family.

You may have asked yourself: "Am I depressed, or am I just tired?"
- [Am I Depressed? Take Our Online Depression Test to Understand the Signs](https://www.magnusmedical.com/blog/am-i-depressed-quiz/): Feeling persistently low, disconnected, or unusually exhausted can be confusing and isolating, especially when you're not sure whether what you're experiencing is a rough patch or something more.

- [Reaching Out: How to Get Help for Depression ](https://www.magnusmedical.com/blog/get-help-for-depression/): Living with depression often feels like carrying an invisible weight that grows heavier with every step. The irony of the condition is that it can zap(?) the very energy and motivation you need in order to seek help for depression.1 When you are already exhausted by the daily routine, the prospect of researching doctors, making phone calls, and navigating insurance can feel like an impossible burden to take on.
- [Understanding the Potential Long-Term Effects of Depression](https://www.magnusmedical.com/blog/long-term-effects-of-depression/): Depression is far more than a shift in mood.

- [Guide to Depression Treatment: Finding the Right Path to Remission](https://www.magnusmedical.com/blog/saint-guide-to-depression-treatment/): When you are living with depression, the search for an effective depression treatment can feel intimidating. If you have tried standard treatments without finding the relief you need, it is important to understand that your struggle is not a failure of willpower, resilience, or character. Just as heart disease is a physical condition that requires a clinical solution, major depressive disorder (MDD) is a biological reality of brain health. It does not reflect who you are, but rather how your brain is currently functioning.

To make this journey easier to understand, the team at Magnus Medical created this infographic to map out the many paths people might take on their journey toward better mental health. The road is rarely straight, and often, people with depression will need to explore more than one option to find what works for them. But with persistence, you can find relief from your symptoms.

- [A Message from Magnus Medical: Honoring the Life & Legacy of Nolan Williams, M.D.](https://www.magnusmedical.com/blog/nolan-williams-legacy/): Nolan was a scientific visionary and a truly empathetic individual whose profound commitment to addressing the crisis in brain health defined his career. He was a recognized leader in research, innovation, and the crucial movement to destigmatize brain health conditions.

These people tend to struggle in silence, too afraid or ashamed to share their pain, leading to feelings of isolation and hopelessness, and eventually contemplate suicide as a way to escape their emotional turmoil. That’s why it’s important for families to discuss mental health and suicide prevention openly, regardless of the ages of the affected individuals. 
- [Mental Health Awareness: Glossary of Mental Health and Wellness Terms, From Anxiety to TMS and Beyond](https://www.magnusmedical.com/blog/mental-health-wellness-glossary/): Words shape how we see our minds.

A shared vocabulary helps you spot red flags earlier, ask sharper questions, and support friends with real empathy. It also makes appointments less confusing and self-advocacy more effective at school, work, and home.

- [How SAINT® Can Help Severe Depression: A Case Study](https://www.magnusmedical.com/blog/life-saving-treatment/): I was ruminating terrible, ugly thoughts about myself. I felt the only way out was suicide because I couldn’t control it. I wasn’t hearing that people were loving me. All I could hear was negative chatter.
