I would highly encourage therapy if you are feeling depressed.

I recommend counseling but many people think that counseling alone will help them. However. I have about a 70% success rate by addressing depression by various life style changes and addressing cognition. I highly recommend a book called The depression cure" by Stephen llardi. However, I recommend an assessment by a mental health professional as well.

Therapy is one of the best resources for depression

Yes. Research shows that the combination of medication and psychotherapy is the most effective treatment for depression. There are often behavioral changes, lifestyle changes, and changes in thinking that need to occur as part of the treatment process for depression, which would be work completed in psychotherapy.

Yes, there are many effective therapies to treat depression. Therapy for depression may focus on new ways of thinking or behaving to help improve your overall mindset and daily habits. If the depression is linked to earlier life events, sometimes it's helpful to have a safe and supportive space to process through those thoughts, memories and feelings to create meaning for your life ahead. Most people will experience depression at some point in their life, therapy is a very effective approach to keeping your mental wellness.

Good Afternoon! I definitely would encourage therapy to help you treat depression. However, that is your decision to make. There are different types of depression. I would encourage you to determine how well or how difficult it is for you to cope with the current levels of depression you experienced. I want you to know that seeking professional help for depression can be beneficial as it can help you not only learn how to cope in a healthier manner, but better understand what triggers you and learning how to prevent those triggers. Therapy can help get to the root cause of how depression impacts you and having the proper information and education can be helpful in not only alleviating symptoms, but helping your healing process. All the best on your journey!!

I would advise for you to talk to your primary care doctor first if you are feeling anxious, down, or stressed for more than several weeks. Or if it starts to interfere with your home or work life. Therapy and other strategies can help.

Yes, therapy would be a great first step towards recovery and healing.

Counseling is very effective for depression.
