2. Depression may be affecting an increasing percentage of American population very
year so much so that the emotional disorder has come to be referred to as ‘common’.
An incredibly large number of depression treatment centers in the country may
promise miraculous results for treating and preventing depression. But, the condition
is nevertheless debilitating, challenging and frustrating for those who go through it.
No two cases are exactly the same because of a number of factors and underlying
causes. Hence, two treatment approaches can also not be the same. Approaching
treatments with a ‘one size fits all’ approach may not yield results and an
experimental approach is not something a depressed individual should be subjected
to during those trying times.

3. Depression treatment options are several. And the approach has to be tailor-made
depending upon the individual and nature of problem. Medication management,
therapy sessions, lifestyle changes and at-home support usually comprise a
treatment approach. The nature of problem is also indicative of the duration of
proposed treatment.
Here is what you should know about every treatment option.
Anti-depressant Medication

4. Some people think anti-depressants are singularly adequate to treat depression. But
on the contrary, studies have shown that depression medications work well when
combined with lifestyle changes and therapies. Also, anti-depressant medication
prescribed by depression treatment centers must not be discontinued since it can
take 6 to 8 weeks to start showing results. But, if by that time, you begin to observe
unpleasant side effects like suicidal thoughts or when medications have done little or
nothing to help you by then, consult your therapist on the process forward.
Lifestyle changes
Lifestyle changes can be powerful as treatments for anxiety and depression. Regular
exercises boost neurotransmitters in
your brain and are responsible for
good feelings. Workouts between 30
and 60 minutes every day help your
brain create new cells. Sleep has
maximum impact on your body and
brain. When you sleep for 7 to 8
hours every day, irritability,
exhaustion and frustration are visibly
reduced.

5. Eating well-balanced meals provides body with energy and cuts down mood swings.
Similarly, social support with loved ones can bounce an individual back into positive
moods quickly.
Depression treatment centers
Sometimes, medications and lifestyle changes are alone not adequate to treat cases
of depression. This is when expert assistance is of immense
advantage. Residential treatment therapy removes usual
life stressors from the depressed individual and puts him or
her in an environment of positive elements. As part of the
treatments, counseling, therapy and self-help activities go a
long way to help individuals combat and prevent the problem.
