TREATMENT OPTIONS

Depression is a treatable condition and most people see improvements in their symptoms when treated with medication, psychotherapy, or a combination of the two.
Psychotherapy (or talk therapy) has an excellent track record of helping people with depressive disorder. While some psychotherapies have been researched, the most popular therapy for Depression is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). During CBT, a therapist will help identify negative or false thoughts and replace those thoughts with healthier, more realistic ones.
For example, if one feels worthless or believes that their life is in a downward spiral, perhaps obsessing over shortcomings, CBT will help make the patient aware of these toxic thoughts, teaching them to replace these thoughts with positive ones. The change in attitude will many times lead to a change in overall behavior. If one experiences moderate to severe depression, one of our doctors may prescribe an antidepressant medication, along with psychological treatments.
Antidepressants are sometimes prescribed when other treatments have not been successful or when psychological treatments alone are not possible due to the severity of the condition or a lack of access to the treatment. While there are many different medications that can help reduce the symptoms of depression, most studies have found medication is most effective when it is used in conjunction with therapy.
