Depressive disorders can affect mood, behavior, and overall functioning. We focus on holistic treatment:
- Diagnostic Assessment: Thorough evaluations to identify the type and severity of depression (e.g., major depressive disorder, dysthymia).
- Psychotherapy:
- CBT to address negative thought patterns.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) to resolve interpersonal issues contributing to depression.
- Medication Therapy: Prescribing antidepressants based on individual needs, with close monitoring of efficacy and side effects.
- Lifestyle Interventions: Incorporating exercise, diet, and mindfulness practices to enhance recovery.
