Talk Therapy for Depression

Talk therapy, or psychotherapy, provides a means to learn about depression and new skills to manage symptoms.

This type of therapy for depression provides relief from symptoms including:

• Fatigue and irritability

• Trouble sleeping, such as sleeping too much or insomnia

• Feelings of guilt, helplessness, or worthlessness

• Hopelessness and negativity

• Disinterest in once pleasurable activities

• Trouble concentrating or remembering

• Thoughts of suicide or self-harm

Talking with a licensed therapist provides guided sessions that work towards building coping and life skills. Normally, minor to moderate depression can be treated by talk therapy. However, severe depression may also benefit from psychiatric services with medication in tandem with therapy.
