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.

  • 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

How often should you attend depression therapy sessions?

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.

Need more help deciding?

While many of us think of depression one-dimensionally, the truth is that depression is a complex emotional disorder whose effects can impact everyone differently. Most people think that depression is simply about feeling sad all the time. For some, feelings of sadness and hopelessness are present, but there are also days where these sensations are gone, and in their place lies apathy. Still, for others, their depression manifests high points of bliss that bottom out into despair. 

Thankfully, if you’re feeling like you’re suffering from the various symptoms of depression, you don’t have to face these issues alone. With the help and support of a counselor or psychiatric provider at Thriveworks in Billings, MT you can learn to manage your depression. Reach out today to get started. 

How Can a Mental Health Professional Help with My Depression? 

It’s important to remember—diagnosing yourself with a mental health condition, including depression, isn’t possible. The only people qualified to diagnose you are licensed mental health professionals, like the ones at Thriveworks in Billings, MT. With their professional insight and guidance, you’ll be on your way to better mental health. With that being said, there are a few common signs and symptoms that might indicate that you’re struggling with depression, including: 

  • Feeling chronically fatigued 
  • Seeming distant from loved ones and friends 
  • Overeating or avoiding eating to cope with stress or sadness
  • Decreased work performance
  • Lack of self-care (i.e. personal hygiene or a clean living environment)
  • Drug and alcohol abuse to cope with emotional pain 
  • A noted lack of interest in sex, hobbies, or relationships 

These are just a few of the many ways that depression can manifest. If you’re diagnosed, you might find that your personal experience varies. By talking to a counselor or psychiatrist at Thriveworks in Billings, MT, your personal experience will help shape your treatment plan. The feedback you provide helps our providers to understand your perspective and unique mental health needs more clearly. 

How Can Thriveworks in Billings, MT Help Treat My Depression? 

The type of treatment that you’ll receive depends on the severity and type of depression that you have. Here’s what you can expect from your experience with us:

  • Using different forms of therapy (i.e talk or behavioral types)
  • Creating a candid, professional relationship between themselves and the client. 
  • Pulling from the client’s personal experiences and needs to create custom treatment plans that include coping strategies and the formation of healthy boundaries.

What Type of Depression Might I Have? 

Depression takes different forms—meaning that our common understanding of this mental health disorder is often a bit skewed. The reality is that “depression” actually refers to a group of closely related disorders. Don’t be concerned though, as our providers are capable of treating many of them, including: 

  • Major depressive disorder
  •  Minor depression
  • Postpartum depression
  • Bipolar Disorder

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.
