Depression Treatment

Are you depressed?

Here are some signs to look for that could indicate that you may be suffering from depression.

You have a loss of interest in people, places, or things that you once enjoyed
You feel an increase in feelings of anger or irritation
You have feelings of sadness, hopelessness, guilt or worthlessness
You are experiencing changes in appetite, weight, and/or sleep patterns

If you are facing one or more of those symptoms, you may be depressed and could benefit from counseling services.

Depression Diagnosis

Across the world, irrespective of a country’s wealth, a misdiagnosis is common when it comes to depression. For instance, healthcare professionals may diagnose people without depression as having the condition and diagnose people with depression as having a different health condition.

Fortunately, there is help. Depression is highly treatable with psychological therapy, medication, or both. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are among a number of effective treatments.
