Depression & Anxiety

Feeling sad, worried, or overwhelmed at times is part of life. But when these feelings last for weeks or begin to affect daily life, it may be time to ask for help. Health Services of North Texas (HSNT) provides caring, confidential treatment for depression and anxiety for children, teens, and adults.

We offer behavioral health care at our locations in Denton, Wylie, and Plano, TX, with in-person and telehealth appointments available.

What Is Depression & Anxiety Treatment?

Depression and anxiety are common mental health conditions that can affect how you think, feel, and function. These conditions can be caused by many factors, including:

Stressful life events
Medical or hormonal conditions
Past or current trauma
Substance use
Chemical imbalances
Nutrition or lifestyle challenges

Some people are still able to work, go to school, or care for family while feeling depressed or anxious, but that does not mean they should “just live with it.” You deserve care that improves your quality of life.

We take time to listen, understand your situation, and help identify what may be contributing to your symptoms.
