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 Springfield, MO 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.

What Are the Most Common Types of Depression?

Some people think of depression as one overarching condition, but there are actually a number of different subcategories. A few of the most common ones include:

  • Major depressive disorder: When most people think of clinical depression, they’re referring to major depressive disorder (MDD). MDD is characterized by a number of common depression symptoms lasting for longer than a two-week period.
  • Persistent depression disorder: This is a type of chronic depression that is less severe than MDD but characterized by a low mood and other symptoms for at least two years.
  • Postpartum depression: This type of depression is sometimes seen in women soon after childbirth and is characterized by feelings of inadequacy, sadness and hopelessness. These symptoms can be present for extended periods of time, making it difficult for a new mother to look after herself and an infant.
  • Seasonal affective disorder: This is a type of depression common in the winter months, thought to be due to the lack of sunshine. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) usually fades in the spring and summer months.

Common Symptoms of Depression

While the main symptom of depression is a persistent low mood, there are number of other symptoms, including:

  • Deep and consistent levels of sadness
  • Poor or increased appetite
  • Lack of concentration or motivation
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Losing or gaining rapid weight
  • Low immunity and constantly feeling sick
  • Tiredness
  • Loss of libido
  • Thoughts of suicide or self-harm
  • Restlessness

How Can Depression Therapy Help?

Treating depression often requires the intervention of a mental health counselor and can involve talk therapy, medication, or a combination of both.

Therapists use talk therapy during counseling sessions to help you understand and cope with the issues that may be contributing to your depression. For example, one form of talk therapy called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to teach clients coping skills to combat unhelpful habits and thoughts.
