What can counseling do for those who suffer with depression?

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 Rio Rancho, NM 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 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.

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.

Recognizing the Symptoms of Depression

Depression manifests in various ways, and it’s not uncommon for individuals to seek physical explanations for their symptoms before realizing they may be dealing with a mental health issue. Common symptoms include:

  • A depressed mood lasting longer than two weeks
  • Loss of interest or pleasure in activities
  • Appetite changes and unintentional weight loss or gain
  • Slowed-down movements and thoughts
  • Fatigue and exhaustion
  • Overwhelming feelings of guilt or worthlessness
  • Problems with attention or memory
  • Suicidal thoughts (If you’re considering self-harm, please call a crisis hotline immediately.)

Men often exhibit externalizing behaviors like anger or irritability, and many people with depression use substance abuse as a coping strategy. Changes in sleep patterns and sex drive can also be indicators. Depression frequently co-occurs with anxiety and can overlap with physical conditions like thyroid disorders, making expert evaluation crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
