Depression: There’s More to the Story Than Brain Chemistry

Depression isn’t just about feeling sad—it can also show up as fatigue, brain fog, low motivation, sleep issues, or chronic pain. And while conventional treatments often focus on managing brain chemistry with medication, many people never feel fully better because the root causes are never addressed.

At O’Keefe Matz Functional Health Clinic, we take a functional medicine approach to depression. That means we look at the whole person—not just symptoms. We explore how inflammation, gut health, nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, toxic exposure, and chronic stress may be contributing to your low mood and energy.

We use therapies such as neurofeedback, Frequency Specific Microcurrent, clinical nutrition, acupuncture, and nervous system balancing to support emotional resilience and restore mental clarity—naturally and without judgment.

If you’re feeling stuck, discouraged, or like something deeper is going on, we’re here to help you reconnect with your health—and with hope.

Call O’Keefe Matz Functional Health Clinic at 651-292-8072 to schedule a consultation.
Let’s work together to find and heal the root cause.
