The way you experience depression might look different from someone else with the disorder. However, there are some more common depression symptoms to consider:
Dealing with these symptoms can make existing in your day-to-day life extremely difficult. Many people with depression struggle with their issues by themselves — which can make things worse in the long run. Working with a mental health professional can help reduce the symptoms of depression and help people live happier, healthier lives.
Being aware of the different forms of depression can also help you notice your symptoms. Some of these forms include:
Depressive disorders can develop at a variety of different points in your life due to a wide variety of causes. Despite the way depression can make you feel, it is not your fault that you are suffering, and there is something that you can do about it.
That’s why paying attention to changes in your mental health is important — so you can get the help you need when you need it. Mental health professionals from Thriveworks Counseling in Iowa, IA, can help you manage your depression and live your best life.
The kind of depression you have and how your symptoms present can influence what your treatment looks like. In most cases, talk therapy, medication, or a combination of the two are used as the primary modes of treating depression.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a kind of talk therapy focused on identifying and modifying negative patterns of thought. You’ll learn to avoid and resist common depressive thought patterns that distort the world around you. Other types of therapy commonly used to treat depression include dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and psychodynamic therapy.
Medication is another common component of many depression treatment plans. Antidepressants can help reduce the symptoms of depression, making it much easier to manage. Your provider could suggest medication if they think it could help you feel better.
