Depression Treatment Starts You On The Path To A Better Life

By Jonathon Zyrabeks

Are you or a loved one suffering from depression? If the answer is yes, then it is time to reach out for the support and healing you deserve. The crushing weight of depression can take a toll on every aspect of one's life, creating severe distress and significantly impairing one's functioning in the areas of work, school, relationships and health.

Sadly, the shame and guilt that often accompanies the dark experience of depression can lead someone to remain isolated, lost, and alone, feeling unworthy or unable to reach out and ask for help. While many of us will experience normal episodes of sadness and depressed moods throughout our life, the disabling nature of acute or chronic depression requires intervention and treatment.

The treatment team will treat you with the respect you deserve by involving you in every step of the process, empowering you with the knowledge of what treatment intervention is occurring and why, giving you the voice that has been missing in your life.

The depression treatment process begins with an extensive clinical assessment, development of a specific treatment plan, individual psychotherapy sessions that consists of integrated therapeutic approaches and interventions, and the option of family sessions, and concludes with a detailed exit plan for a successful return to your life. In conjunction with the intensive individual therapy component, we offer a combination of psychodynamic process groups, behavior modification groups, grief and loss groups, and life skills training.

A blend of adjunct therapy is offered, such as acupuncture, yoga, massage, spa treatments and equine and art therapy to provide individuals with a sense of mindfulness and spiritual enhancement that we recognize as indispensable counterparts to the mental and physical components of one's path to healing.

During an intervention is it is very important for everyone involved to provide support, structure, empathy and insight to allow the person suffering from depression to create a path to greater awareness and change. Intervention specialists will also empower the patient cognitively, emotionally, and behaviorally to build a healthier and more stable core sense of self, self-efficacy and power in their lives. - 29881
