Depression is a common but serious mental health disorder suffered by millions of people worldwide. People of all genders, ethnicities, and ages can develop depressive disorders, including children and adolescents. Depression may accompany other mental health issues, like anxiety or bipolar disorder, and are most successfully treated by a licensed mental health professional.
Managing depression on your own can be overwhelming, and often unsuccessful. Depression rarely goes away on its own, and trying to cope by yourself can sometimes cause more harm than good, leading to additional problems such as substance abuse or self-harm.
Fortunately, even the most severe forms of depression can be treated with the help of a licensed professional. The counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Aurora, IL are experienced in treating depression and the myriad of symptoms it can bring. Reach out today to get started.
Because there are many different causes and forms of depression, symptoms can vary widely from one person to the next. Depression can manifest both physically and psychologically, making it especially difficult to diagnose or manage without the help of a licensed mental health professional.
While each person may have a unique presentation of depression symptoms, there are some common signs to look out for, including the following:
Whether your depression is transient, such as seasonal affective disorder, or you’re suffering from chronic symptoms as in persistent depressive disorder, you can overcome your symptoms and live a life free of depression. Depression therapy can help you recognize and understand the type of mood disorder you are experiencing, and give you the tools to cope with and overcome your symptoms.
Some depressive disorders have an obvious cause or driving factor, such as postpartum depression. Other forms of depression can manifest in subtle ways or appear similar to other mental health issues. Depression can also occur simultaneously or as an accessory to other illnesses.
Speaking with a mental health professional is the best way to determine what you are up against and how you can fight it. Once a licensed professional has diagnosed your depression, they can create a unique treatment plan designed to treat the specific issues and concerns you have. Your treatment plan may include various types of therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and, in some cases, prescription medication.
Treating depression doesn’t have to be difficult or frightening, and Thriveworks is here to make it as easy as possible. When you join the Thriveworks family, you can look forward to the following benefits:
