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 Memphis, TN 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.

  • Consistent low mood
  • Fatigue
  • Irritability

  • Changes in diet (eating much more or less)
  • Withdrawal and isolation
  • Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
  • Feelings of hopelessness

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.

Depression Counseling in Memphis, TN

People with depression have a severe mental health disorder that, left untreated, can be devastating for them and their loved ones. Fortunately, if you are experiencing symptoms, there is hope. There are effective forms of treatment for depression, including depression counseling.

You don’t have to handle your mental illness on your own. Our team of professional therapists at Thriveworks Counseling in Memphis, TN has the training, skills, and compassion to help you beat depression and live a happy and successful life. 

Symptoms of Depression

If you have depression symptoms, you may feel isolated and alone. You may also think you’re the only one lost in this wilderness. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the handbook used by clinicians and psychiatrists to diagnose psychiatric illnesses, lists the two most common types of depression as major depressive disorder and persistent depressive disorder. 

While symptoms vary between individuals, let’s take a look at some common signs of depression:

  • Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Decreased interest or pleasure in previously enjoyed activities
  • Changes in eating habits
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Physical pain
  • Recurrent thoughts of death

While you await your first depression therapy session, let’s get you equipped with some coping tools to help with depression symptoms right now. 

Tips to Help Cope with Depression

As discussed, speaking with a therapist is a beneficial first start if you’re experiencing any of these symptoms. There are also several coping skills you can apply. Read the list below, and see if you can put any of these skills into practice today:

    1. Get on track: Maintaining a healthy and predictable routine is extremely important for those with depression since the disorder can cause a dramatic dip in energy and motivation. Try sticking to a schedule that works for you and maintain that schedule every day. 
    2. Get healthy: A nutritious diet can work wonders for your mood and overall mental health. Try to add various colors to your plate and emphasize fruits, whole grains, veggies, lean meat, fish, nuts, eggs, and beans. 
    3. Get moving: You don’t have to play a sport or run a marathon to take advantage of this activity. A short, brisk walk around your neighborhood or at a local park can work just as well, and you may notice this simple act of movement uplifts your mood.

My times with Valerie McKinney have encouraged and strengthened me in my day to day struggles. She is calm and soothing when my life seems out of control. Her faith is strong, and her reminders of God's presence in all circumstances have helped me to be more aware that I am not alone in any situation. She is not afraid too speak the truth to me about my situation, but does so in a kind and compassionate manner. The ability to meet with her online has been a life changer, and whatever system was used to match me to her was awesome. Her age and experience were just what I was looking for in a world of Barbie like counselors!
