What we treat/Depression

Depression, treated one life at a time.

The grey that will not lift. Decisions that once took seconds and now take days. Depression is common; the way we treat it is not.

How it shows itself
Interest gone from things you chose
Sleep and appetite disrupted
Guilt without a reason
Thinking slowed
What we look for first
Thyroid, inflammation, deficiencies
Bipolarity, before any antidepressant
Alcohol and medication, honestly
Sleep, as treatment in itself
How we treat it
One psychiatrist, leading personally
Psychotherapy, one to one
Medication chosen with you
A written plan for afterwards

First, the whole picture.

Half of good psychiatry is good medicine. Laboratory, hormones, heart and a complete medication review come before psychiatric treatment begins.

Then, treatment with one name on it.

Individual psychotherapy, careful medication, structured days and a documented plan for what happens after you leave.
