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
I have been going here for almost 2 years and have lost over 110 lbs. Ariel and Valarie closely monitor my health each month which helps me ensure that I’m losing weight the right way while gaining muscle mass. So glad I found this local, professional office!
Actually listened. Got an answer I've been looking for, for years, in two visits. Direct, to the point, knowledgeable.
In and out at a reasonable time, Dr Young was very friendly and personable. Got all of my concerns taken care of and gave me some great recommendations of places to ride motorcycles with my wife and I. Overall a great experience!
Really great listener and explains everything really thoroughly!
Dr. Weston Young is absolutely our favorite family PCP ever. He is professional, kind, attentive, respectful, knowledgeable, current, relevant and very personable! He respects each individual patient and their preferences. He gives options but leaves decisions up to the individual patient. All of our friends who also go to him agree. He’s a gem whom we highly recommend!
