Depression is more than simply feeling unhappy or fed up for a few days. It is a serious mental health condition that affects your thoughts, feelings, and daily activities. At Talking Therapies UK, we provide compassionate and effective treatment to help adults manage and overcome depression, offering personalised care tailored to your needs.
Depression can range from mild to severe. At its mildest, you may feel persistently low in spirit, while severe depression can make you feel suicidal and that life is no longer worth living.
Depression can be triggered by various factors, including:
Bereavement, divorce, job loss, or other significant life changes.
Family history of depression.
Chronic illnesses, pain, or hormonal imbalances.
Prolonged stress from personal or professional life.
Certain traits like low self-esteem or being overly self-critical.
Treatment for depression in adults can involve a combination of lifestyle changes, talking therapies, and medication. Your recommended treatment will be based on how severe your depression is. Options include:
Monitoring progress to see if symptoms improve on their own.
Exercise, diet changes, and guided self-help.
Identifies and changes negative thought patterns.
Medication prescribed by a doctor if needed.
It’s important to seek help from a GP if you think you may be depressed. Many people wait a long time before seeking help, but it’s best not to delay. The sooner you see a doctor, the sooner you can be on the way to recovery.
