It may also involve group therapy where people with similar illnesses meet to help one another deal with similar situations. Treatment for depression may take several weeks, or may even last for years. However, it is possible to make significant improvements after a few sessions. If your doctor suspects that you may be suffering from depression, he or she will refer you to a psychiatrist.

If you’re experiencing a severe depression, talk to your doctor about the treatment you’re receiving. Medications should be adjusted accordingly.
