Do I need therapy for depression?

Many people mistake depression for other health issues, because depression isn’t just an emotional issue – it also affects you physically, cognitively, and socially.  

Let’s talk about some of the main warning signs:

How can therapy for depression help?

Depression tends to make itself worse over time.

The less energy you have, the less motivated you feel to do the things you love.  The less you feel motivated, the more you will feel hopeless about the future and overwhelmed.  As you feel worse, you’ll be more likely to withdraw from others or try to self-soothe with distractions, food, or alcohol, which then makes you have even less energy.  

We call this the downward spiral of depression, and it explains why so many people become slowly depressed over time.  

Fortunately, psychotherapy is incredibly effective for helping people disrupt depression’s spiral.  You can learn to overcome your symptoms, feel seen and heard, and move forward with a life worth living.  

If you or a loved one are ready to give therapy for depression a try, Behavioral Medicine Partners is here for you.
