Depression


At this point, you’ve probably tried to manage depression yourself and it hasn’t worked, which is truly ok. Depression can be considered a common emotion these days, and unfortunately an everyday term that is used loosely to describe stress and feelings like sadness. For many others like you, depression is not a joke or a term to describe common emotions, it’s a daily struggle that leads to dangerous emotions, detachment from life activities and often a high risk of addictive behavior.

“Too many people wait until they are exhausted or depressed to make change or seek help. Mental health isn’t something to put on the back burner. We can’t keep good habits in storage until we need them. Mental hygiene takes practice and repetition. It should be as ingrained in our daily routine as dental hygiene. – Adam G.”

Learning to Manage Depression

Those who suffer from depression, anxiety and other severe mental health disorders often turn to unhealthy solutions. These approaches include self-medication through drugs, alcohol and other dangerous behaviors, all in an attempt to cope and soothe themselves. It’s important for those with serious mental health disorders like depression to receive professional support, therapies and a personalized approach where clients understand their emotions in a safe environment, while learning healthy coping skills to increase stress tolerance for improved mood regulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there different kinds of depression? What’s unique about them?

Yes, depression is not a one-size-fits-all condition. It comes in many types and can manifest in various symptoms. For a person with major depressive disorder, for example, it may look like repeated overpowering periods of sadness. Those who experience lingering depression, on the other hand, may be living with a different condition, known as persistent depressive disorder. Likewise, some patients experience depression as part of or alongside other illnesses. If someone has bipolar disorder, depression could look like deep sadness alongside spurts of manic swings the other way. Each kind of depression has its own unique hue. Whatever the case, every patient with depression deals with a huge load on their emotional health.
If you are dealing with depression, you are not alone. Many other people do, too. Just as others have found help through care options such as a residential depression treatment center, so can you.

Are there factors that put certain people more at risk for depression?

Yes. Genetics are a factor. If you have a history of depression in your family tree, you will have a higher likelihood of experiencing it, too. Likewise, trauma or loss can trigger the condition. At the same time, no matter what your risk factors, you are not destined to a life of darkness. With the right care and treatment, you can have great hope for a better future. This is part of why treatment at the right facility is so important.

What if someone I love has depression? What can I do?

One of the best ways to love someone who’s battling depression is through your physical and emotional presence. Listen thoughtfully without criticism. Be available to hear their feelings and concerns. Simply by being near and caring, you will provide a powerfully comforting help. When appropriate, you can also gently point your loved one towards professional therapy, counseling or the help of inpatient depression treatment centers. Above all, communicate that you are on the journey with them and they are not alone.
