What Is Depression & How Is It Treated?

Depression is a clinical mental health disorder that causes persistent sadness, loss of interest, and emotional difficulty in daily life. It affects how a person feels, thinks, and functions—impacting energy, motivation, sleep, appetite, and relationships. Unlike temporary low moods, depression treatment in Maryland should include professional evaluation and evidence-based care tailored to individual needs.
With the right care, individuals can address root causes, manage symptoms, and achieve long-term healing. A structured, clinician-guided approach combines therapy, medication management, and ongoing support tailored to each person’s needs.
At Ardent Behavioral Health and Total Wellness, our licensed providers offer comprehensive evaluations, personalized treatment plans, and both in-office and secure telehealth care—making expert depression support accessible from anywhere, without a referral.

I started treatment with ms robin in December and she’s the best. She really helps me out to make sure I can be a fully functional and be myself again. Although it’s a process, she listens and makes sure you get the right treatment. I’m glad I was recommended to see her.

Ardent Health has helped me in so many ways, I'm so greatful for finding this office. If you're looking for a provider that actually listens to you and provides a kind, judgement-free mental health experience, look no further than Robin. She has been there for me during difficult personal experiences and gotten me back on the right track. I can't say enough good things about her and her team, they are always available, communicative, they provide appointments during times that work for her patients, and again, she really listens to me. In this day and age of revolving-door medicine, I'm so happy to have found a provider that is truly here for me!

I’ve been through a lot of providers over the past several years. Most would rush me, not listen, and/or just take a one size fits all approach. Robin takes her time, listens to me, and is always responsive to my feedback and concerns. She makes me feel seen and I can see that she cares about her patients. I would highly recommend this practice

Nei Nei - I was hesitant to seek help, but Robin Hewitt made the entire process easy and stress-free. She is kind, professional, and ensures that my medication and treatment plan are the right fit for me. The reception staff is also friendly and efficient. I’m so glad I found this place.
