Depression Q&A

Depression is a prevalent mental health condition that affects your thinking, mood, and behaviors. It can develop at any stage in life due to factors such as:

  • Medical conditions
  • Chronic stress
  • Relationship conflicts
  • Hormonal changes
  • Vitamin deficiencies

Sometimes, depression may arise without an obvious cause, potentially related to genetic factors or personal history. At All Times Behavioral Health, we offer compassionate care for both adults and children experiencing depression. Our team provides comprehensive mental health evaluations and develops tailored treatment plans to manage depressive symptoms effectively over the long term.

While occasional sadness is a normal response to life events like disappointment or stress, persistent symptoms lasting two weeks or more may indicate a need for professional help. Consider scheduling a diagnostic evaluation at All Times Behavioral Health if you experience symptoms such as:

  • Persistent sadness
  • Feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness
  • Mood swings
  • Intense guilt
  • Insomnia
  • Decreased energy levels
  • Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Thoughts or actions of self-harm or suicide

Our team will review your symptoms and medical history, and may conduct bloodwork or other diagnostic tests to identify any underlying issues contributing to your depression. Based on the results, we will customize a care plan aimed at alleviating symptoms, stabilizing moods, and enhancing your overall quality of life.

At All Times Behavioral Health, we utilize advanced therapies for managing chronic depression. Your treatment plan may include:

  • Psychological Therapy: Psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), helps you recognize and modify negative thoughts and behaviors, providing tools to cope with depression's impact on your life and relationships.

  • Medications: Antidepressant medications can relieve persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness, improving your sense of well-being and enabling you to lead a more fulfilling life.

  • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): TMS is a noninvasive therapy that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain cells involved in mood regulation. This option may be suitable for those with treatment-resistant depression who have not responded well to traditional medications.
