We would use an effective therapeutic approach that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to depression. Then we will incorporate relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and deep-breathing exercises that can assist in managing physiological symptoms while also identifying triggers and experiences that have led to symptoms of depression to gain insight and understanding into one's thoughts and behaviors.

Depression commonly manifests physically, through stomach pains, headaches, disrupted or excessive sleep, and motor control difficulty. While the causes of depression are unknown, a predisposition for it runs in families and it can be triggered by trauma and adverse life circumstances. Depression is diagnosed more frequently in women and tends to display differently in women than in men.
People tend to suffer higher rates of depression after giving birth and in late fall. Depression and anxiety often exacerbate each other and people with depression commonly have difficulty concentrating on tasks and conversations. Some people abuse alcohol and drugs or overeat as a way of coping, causing them to develop other medical problems. Depressed people are also at increased risk for self-harm.
Depression is a mental illness which is characterized by prolonged emotional symptoms including:
Apathy
Sadness
Guilt
Exhaustion
Irritability
Diagnosing depression involves a psychiatric evaluation and physical tests to determine whether a person’s symptoms are actually being caused by a different disorder. A person must have been experiencing symptoms for at least two weeks to be diagnosed with depression. Every case is unique and requires individual attention, but there are a number of effective complementary ways of treating depression, including:
Talk therapy
Medication
Adopting a healthier lifestyle
