How to Treat Depression
Depression is one of the most common mental disorders. Fortunately, it can be treated successfully and almost everyone who seeks help will achieve relief from its symptoms. Treatment should begin with a thorough diagnostic evaluation. This includes interviews with the patient and physical exams. A health care professional may also order blood tests to rule out medical causes of depression. If these are discovered, reversing them would help alleviate the depressive symptoms. The evaluation will also explore the patient’s medical, family, and environmental history.
Your doctor may prescribe medication to treat depression. In addition to medical treatment, many people use complementary and alternative medicine methods. These practices are sometimes referred to as integrative medicine. However, when considering these options, you should be aware of the possible side effects. Moreover, alternative medicine treatments should never replace conventional medical treatment. The goal is to manage symptoms of depression, not to eliminate them.
Depressive symptoms can have a profound effect on your daily life. They can affect your eating habits, sleeping habits, and feelings of self-worth. As a result, they can affect your ability to perform daily tasks, such as working and maintaining good health. If the condition is severe, it may even lead to suicide. Approximately 40,000 people commit suicide each year in the United States alone. If you suspect you have a depressive disorder, it is important to seek medical help as early treatment is crucial for recovery.
Antidepressants can help control your symptoms and improve your quality of life. In some cases, antidepressants are combined with other drugs to enhance their effect. For example, your doctor may prescribe a combination of two antidepressants or use antipsychotics in addition to SSRIs. Some people may also benefit from group therapy, family therapy, or couples therapy. This will help you connect with people who are dealing with similar depression issues.
Psychotherapy, also known as talking therapies, helps people change their negative thought patterns and change their behaviors. Combined with antidepressant medications, cognitive behavioral therapy is a proven treatment for depression. By improving problem solving skills, it can improve coping with depression symptoms. People who use cognitive behavioral therapy regularly find it helpful in dealing with their symptoms.
There are medications available for treating depression that are approved by the FDA. Esketamine, which is sold under the brand name Spravato, is an example of one of these medications. It is approved for treating depression in adults who are unable to respond to other medications. As with any medication, esketamine comes with risks.
Depression is a complex condition that results from a complex interaction of various factors. Some of these factors include changes in hormones in women, family history, and early childhood trauma. People with chronic medical conditions like heart disease are more likely to develop depression. The disease can worsen the affected person’s life situation and even damage his or her physical health.
