What kind of treatment is available for depression?

There's many different treatment options available for depression. Exercising is a proven treatment method you can do on your own! In addition to that, seeing a mental health counselor is a good option. They can help you find methods to cope with your feelings and work through them. Often, medications will be very helpful as well for treating the physical symptoms of depression. Good luck!

There are various forms of therapy which are popular and quite effective. There are also many different types of drugs. Lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, sleep) can also really help.

I don't know what it's like in other countries, in Estonia number one treatment is pills! And that's because psychiatrists just don't care, it's easy to write pills although in many cases talking would be the best medication. Also... When I was underaged there were support groups which in my opinion were the most useful things back at that time. Sadly there are no for adults. But I totally reccommend a support group to anyone who is fighting with depression, because depression has a lot to do with feeling alone, separated and being misunderstood. That's why I loved those groups - you were with people who did understand and knew what you were going through.

As depression are mostly the result of errorneus cognitions and emotions, so the focus is given to changing that thinking patterns of depressed individuals. For depression, there are different psychotherapies available such as cognitive therapy, rational emotive behavioral therapy or cognitive behaviour therapy. Your psychologist will decide what to opt with your consultation and prior knowledge.

There are 2 types: drugs and therapy. Both have their supporters. I personally prefer meds; however, that is my own expirience.

The most common forms of treatment are therapy and anti-depressants, which often go hand in hand. Anti-depressants might seem scary as they do have side effects, but their primary purpose is to reinstate a balance in the chemicals in your brain. Therapy might often seem scary or awkward as well, but you have to remember that though they may be trained professionals, they are also human beings who are there to help.

Inpatient, outpatient, intensive outpatient, and also many support groups that can support and connect you with others who have depression.

Psychological treatments for depression for example are, Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), Interpersonal therapy (IPT), Behaviour therapy, Mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT). Medical treatments for depression are antidepressants.

Treatment for depression can include support groups or, most commonly, CBT therapy! CBT focuses on how thoughts, behaviors and feelings relate to each other.

There are many different anti depressants out there that are chosen based on your needs, also counselling and psychologist sessions can be beneficial in treating depression!
