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 Greenfield, WI 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 Greenfield, WI 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.

Keegan doesn’t usually think of himself as someone who feels down very often, but after the last several months, it seems like he’s transformed.

In order to be safe and proactive about his mental health, Keegan wants to talk with a mental health professional through depression therapy sessions.

Am I Depressed? What Are the Symptoms of Depression? 

The symptoms of depression can vary from one person to the next; however, there are common indications that might serve as warnings as to when someone’s depressed, such as: 

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

These are just a few of the ways that depression might manifest: If you’re diagnosed with depression, you might find that your personal experience varies. In the meantime, it’s better to not try and self-diagnose. It might feel tempting to try, but only a qualified mental health professional, like the ones on our team at Thriveworks in Greenfield, WI can do that. That’s why sharing your experience and perspective with our providers is so essential—you help give them the feedback they need to offer your personalized coping strategies. 

What Are the Different Types of Depression? 

“Depression” actually refers to a group of closely related emotional disorders. There are many different types of depression, but some of the common types of anxiety that our providers can help people to manage include: 

  • Major depressive disorder: This condition captures the popular perception of depression. Those with major depression experience emotional detachment and hopelessness. These factors usually take away from their work, relationships and hobbies. 
  • Postpartum depression: Postpartum depression is a mood disorder that arises after a woman gives birth. Women who undergo caesarian sections or experience a miscarriage are even more likely to experience this type of depression.
  • Minor depression: As the name suggests, minor depression is related to major depression—it’s typically severe in its effect and duration. Still, those with this condition still will seem distant, withdrawn, or overwhelmed with sadness. Minor depression can be harder to detect. 
  •  Bipolar disorder: This mental health condition can alter someone’s emotions quickly, with their mood ranging from elation in one moment to overwhelming despair in the next. Those with bipolar disorder might find it hard to maintain close relationships or in-office jobs due to their unpredictable mood swings. 

Who Can Help Manage My Depression?

Our counselors, therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists can all help you mitigate the symptoms of your depression, but they may treat your depression using different methods. For example, psychiatrists are: 

  • Medical doctors who are licensed to conduct therapy sessions 
  • Able to use helpful prescription medicine and therapy as needed to assist people 
  • Often a better option for those with more severe cases of depression

In comparison, counselors and psychologists can help you cope with depression by: 

  • Creating a professional connection with you to better understand their depression 
  • Serving as a verbal and emotional outlet for those burdened by this mood disorder
  • Using talk and behavioral therapy to implement coping strategies for clients

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.
