Psychotherapy for Depression: Part 1


12 years ago 0 1853 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Psychotherapy for depression works! Psychotherapy for depression works at least as well as medication and may be better than medication at preventing recurrence but finding the right provider can be tough and frustrating! We will discuss different options over the next week that that will help give you a better understanding of what may be available to you.
 
Self-Help and Support Groups:  
Self-help and support groups are the least expensive approach to managing depression, and are very helpful for some people. A group of about 5 to 10 people meet weekly and share their experiences, encouraging each other to cope effectively with their depression. Group members are in charge of the sessions. Often family members are invited to attend these groups, and at times a therapist or other depression expert may be brought in to share insights with group members. This type of therapy is also now available online.
