Depression

Many people experience some form of depression at one time or another. This may involve a single incident or ongoing feelings. Symptoms of depression include:

• Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and helplessness
• Loss of interest in activities
  
• Weight loss or gain, appetite changes
  
• Sleeping difficulties (insomnia or sleeping several hours a day)
  
• Isolation from other people
  
• Irritability and mood swings
  
• Lack of motivation
  

Depression is often caused by specific thoughts which lead to feelings that are destructive to the client. We use cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques focusing on identifying and changing thought patterns which cause depressive symptoms. This form of therapy has been shown through research to be the single most effective way to treat depression, in addition to medication in some cases. The therapists at Brandt Therapy Clinics work closely with Primary Care Physicians, OB/GYNs and psychiatrists as needed.
