As you can see by this list, depression can overtake your mental and physical health, which is why it’s important that you seek help at Hope Mental Health.
When you first visit Hope Mental Health, Ms. Woodland spends a fair amount of time with you or your loved one, so you should expect this initial consultation to be lengthy. During this visit, your provider gathers information about your medical history and your current health and reviews your symptoms to identify the problem.
If they determine that depression is present, they tailor a treatment plan that’s unique to your situation. No two people are alike, which means that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for depression.
Your provider may recommend prescription medications to stop the downward spiral of depression, but this is always done in conjunction with psychotherapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy, which is one of the best treatment avenues for depression.
Rest assured, the team at Hope Mental Health works with you until a long-term, and sustainable solution is found, allowing you to break the chains of depression.
