Millions of Americans suffer from mood disorders, most commonly depression and anxiety. It can be a lonely, confusing and emotional experience. You are not alone. If you or someone you love is struggling, we can help. At SUN, we’ve created a caring, healing environment and will be there for every step of your journey to recovery.

SUN’s Mood & Anxiety program helps adults identify and change the attitudes, behaviors and beliefs that can undermine their ability to produce a calm, positive mood. Our psychiatrists, expert therapists, nurses and mental health technicians are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There is no single cure for the complex emotional issues at the heart of mood and anxiety disorders, but we’ll help uncover and resolve the often longstanding psychological issues that can affect mood.
