Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Maumelle, AR will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.
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.
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.
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.
Depression Therapy in Maumelle, AR (North Little Rock)—Depression Therapists
We all have moments of sadness and grief or periods of feeling a little blue. Those are quite common and have no lasting effect on our lives. Depression is different. Depression is a condition that might start with sadness over loss (grief) or a feeling of loneliness in some cases, but the feeling lingers and grows into something that can best be described by clients who have been there.
You don’t have to give up and let it swallow you. You might feel tired and bone weary, but depression is not a life sentence. We can help. We want to help. We know many people need us, so we are ready to help today. Reach out to get started.
What Is Depression and What Causes It?
Depression comes in many forms, including Bipolar Depression, Major Depressive Disorder, Complex Grief, and Mixed Depression and Anxiety. Depression can be the central issue (root problem) or it can be a symptom of other issues, including trauma (PTSD), Dementia, Personality Disorders, and so forth. Depression can also be caused by certain biological reactions to medications, a lack of sleep (insomnia), poor nutrition, and even weather (Seasonal Affective Disorder). Regardless of the type or cause, depression is real and pervasive. Here are common symptoms to look for:
- Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions
- Fatigue and decreased energy
- Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and/or helplessness
- Feelings of hopelessness and/or pessimism
- Insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping
- Irritability, restlessness
- Loss of interest in activities or hobbies once pleasurable, including sex
- Overeating or appetite loss
- Persistent aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that do not ease even with treatment
- Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” feelings
- Thoughts of suicide, suicide attempts
When it comes to prevalence (who has depression), studies have shown that about 14.8 million people (6.7% of the American population) suffer with depression, and women are twice as likely to struggle with it as men.
