Depression

Depression is not a normal part of aging. Depression hurts everyone. Through a partnership with Morbrook Institute, the Camarillo Health Care District offers a wide range of counseling services, as well as occasional classes and workshops on coping with depression. Morbrook Institute, a full-service individual and group counseling agency, was founded nearly 25 years ago and specializes in counseling for adults, children, adolescents, couples, families, and senior citizens. Services also include a Childhood Cancer Program, School Violence Prevention Program, Seniors Program, and a variety of support groups. Depression screening is available year-round by appointment only.

If you or someone you know is living with depression, please seek help. Some important warning signs include chronic sleep problems, inability to rest, excessive worrying, increasing dependency, withdrawal from friends and/or normal activities, hypochondria and complaints of chronic aches or pains that cannot be attributed to other disorders.

To schedule a counseling assessment or appointment, please call Morbrook Institute at (805) 484-7868.
