Depression Q & A

How do I know when to get help for depression?

It can be hard to tell the difference between having the blues and depression. Most people occasionally feel sad, lonely, and unmotivated, but they go about their daily life, and before long, their blues lift, and they feel better.

Depression causes similar feelings, but they’re more intense, and they don’t improve. The symptoms caused by depression persist and may get worse instead of better.

As depression steals your energy, you can’t enjoy family and friends, and chances are you struggle to keep up with your daily responsibilities. It’s time to seek help for depression when your symptoms interfere with your daily life.

What symptoms occur if I have depression?

The top symptom of depression is an overwhelming feeling of sadness and hopelessness.

You also experience one or more additional symptoms. You may:

Lose interest in activities you usually enjoy
Stay away from family and friends
Gain or lose weight
Sleep more or have insomnia
Feel restless or agitated
Have extreme fatigue or no energy
Find it hard to concentrate or think
Have thoughts of suicide or dying

When you’re depressed, you also have a higher risk of developing anxiety and a substance use disorder, especially alcohol abuse.

How is depression treated?

During your first meeting, your Soluna Mind and Wellness provider talks with you about your medical history and symptoms. Then they complete a thorough psychiatric evaluation to accurately diagnose depression.

Soluna Mind and Wellness offers compassionate, evidence-based care for depression. Treatment often involves a combination of psychotherapy, medication, or both. Although using each treatment alone is possible, combining the two often produces the best and longest-lasting results.

Medication

Antidepressants restore brain chemicals that influence depression. These medications take a little time to reach their full effect.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, includes many types of modalities, and each has a different approach for lifting depression. In-person or virtual psychotherapy can also help you work through other issues associated with your depression, such as relationship or work-related problems.

Soluna Mind and Wellness embraces diverse cultures and the LGBTQ community, ensuring that your therapy incorporates your unique lifestyle needs. Your provider works collaboratively with you to provide compassionate, evidence-based care.

It can be hard to reach out for help when you’re depressed, but taking the first step puts you on the path to feeling better and reclaiming your life.
