Starting Depression counseling

What can counseling do for those who suffer with depression?

Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Bentonville, AR will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.

Is it worth going to therapy for depression?

It is absolutely worth going to therapy for depression — depression counseling helps people better manage their symptoms and get back to living happier lives again.

How does depression counseling work?

Depression counseling works by helping people pinpoint life problems, distorted thought patterns, and other causes of their depression, then process and work through them in order to mitigate the negative effects those factors have on their lives.

Signs of depression

Common signs of depression include:

  • Consistent low mood
  • Fatigue
  • Irritability
  • Oversleeping or difficulty sleeping
  • Changes in diet (eating much more or less)
  • Withdrawal and isolation
  • Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
  • Feelings of hopelessness
  • Loss of interest in previous hobbies or activities
  • Excessive substance use

Is depression counseling conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks depression counseling in Bentonville, AR is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How often should you have therapy for depression?

Depression counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, dependent on the severity of one’s depression as well as their needs and preferences.

How much does depression counseling cost?

At Thriveworks, we take most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay a $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session, depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.

Need more help deciding?

Far from simply feeling sad, depression has the potential to drag you down and affect your ability to live your life. For some, it can mean a mental fog where it’s difficult to concentrate or remember details. For others, it means a pervasive lethargy that severely limits their ability to take care of themselves or even do things they once enjoyed. Depression can be overwhelming and strike at any time, even if you feel like your life is otherwise going well.

If you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not alone. Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses and many living with depression never get the treatment they need. Some may feel like they are obliged to handle these feelings by themselves but depression can be much more oppressive than normal feelings of sadness. For some, it can be chronic, with episodes lasting months or even years.

In the same way that you’d seek out a doctor to treat a broken bone, it’s a good idea to seek out depression counseling to manage symptoms of depression. A mental health professional can help treat the immediate symptoms while teaching the skills necessary to process emotions and avoid depressive episodes later on.

If you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression, the mental health professionals at Thriveworks in Bentonville, AR can help. We offer a variety of services to help improve your mental health on your terms.

Causes and Types of Depression

A number of factors can contribute to the onset of depression, including trauma, major life transitions, and pain from childhood. A family history of depression can also increase the risk of depression, as can certain biological factors.

Other possible causes of depression can include:

  • Certain medications
  • Conflicts or disputes with family members and friends
  • Grief from a death or loss
  • Serious illnesses
  • Substance abuse

Depression symptoms can also manifest in different ways. Some people may experience deep feelings of sadness and suicidal thoughts while others may be unable to get out of bed and keep their work commitments. In some cases, other illnesses such as anxiety may be intertwined with depression, making it necessary to treat both.

Some of the most common forms of depression include:

  • Major depressive disorder
  • Persistent depressive disorder
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
  • Postpartum depression

If feelings of depression are interfering with your life, consider scheduling a depression counseling appointment at Thriveworks in Bentonville, AR.

How Can Depression Therapy Help?

As destructive as depression is, it is also highly treatable. Depression counseling can help you handle the immediate symptoms of depression while working toward improving harmful or ineffective thoughts and behaviors.

Therapists will typically tailor their approach to each client’s concerns, goals, and lifestyle. In general, treating depression involves some form of talk therapy or medication. For some clients, a combination is required; medication can help soften the worst depressive symptoms while talk therapy can address its underlying causes.

There are many evidence-based talk therapy approaches that are used depending on the therapist’s specialty and the specifics of the situation. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is one of the most common. It focuses on reevaluating the common patterns of thought that lead to depressive episodes and molding them into healthy, more effective habits. Others, such as interpersonal therapy or problem-solving therapy, involve exploring factors like relationships with others or responses to problematic events, respectively.

At Thriveworks in Bentonville, AR, we understand that depression can be overwhelming. Our mental health professionals who specialize in treating depression can work with you to find a therapeutic approach appropriate to your symptoms and lifestyle.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
