What Is Depression?
Depression, also known as major depressive disorder (MDD), is a mood disorder that brings persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can affect people of all ages, often impacting their emotional, mental, and physical well-being. In the United States alone, nearly 20% of adults experience a significant depressive episode each year. At Younger Medical Health and Wellness in Queen Creek and Scottsdale, AZ, our team is dedicated to helping individuals recognize depression, understand its symptoms, and find effective ways to manage them.

Younger Medical Health and Wellness Reviews
This office and this doctor made me feel important and I have been all over the United States have been able to have a zoom appointment and an inside appointment takes Medicare. Yeah good guy all around great office. Thanks so much for alleviating my blood pressure just by talking.
Great experience each time I head in for a visit/check up. Dr. Young is awesome and the entire staff is friendly and understanding (I can be a pain).
Dr. Young was great. First appointment he took some extra time to get to know me and make sure he was prescribing exactly what was needed not taking anything for granted. His care was much appreciated.
Amazing listener and extremely helpful. Takes time - Love his likeness to the family doctors of years gone by forever!He cares!
The doctor was very courteous and professional, he is one of the best doctors I've ever had and I'm 75 years old and I've had a lot of doctors
