Depression Disorders
Depression can pose a significant risk to your health and well-being. It can negatively affect your daily life and can eventually become a debilitating disorder.
People affected by major depression tend to be less likely to ask for help and typically choose to wait for their symptoms to resolve themselves. There are various types of depression disorders.
Untreated depression can lead loss of enjoyment of life, or even suicidal feelings.

Types of Depression Disorders

Treatment resistant depression is where a person cannot seem to get out of depression even after several trials of medications for depression at therapeutic dosages.

Bipolar disorder is an affective, or mood, disorder that features extreme and unpredictable shifts between depressive (depression) periods and manic (mania) periods, with milder manic periods but more severe depressive periods.

OUR FOCUS IS GIVING YOU THE RIGHT TREATMENT
What can cause a Depression Disorder?
Life events
Trauma, physical or sexual abuse, sudden loss of a loved one, divorce, or a serious financial setback can trigger a depressive disorder.
Brain chemistry
Ongoing study into the role of neural activity and brain chemistry imbalances shows these to be factors in mood regulation.
Personality
Our individual temperaments play a part in how we process and manage stressful life events.
Family History
It is found that people with a strong family history of depression are more prone to it themselves.
Health Conditions
Certain medical conditions may trigger a depressive disorder, such as cancer, lupus, stroke, dementia, HIV, or Parkinson’s disease. The drugs used to manage medical conditions can also have side effects of depressed mood.
Depression Disorders Treatments
Treatments for a depressive disorder are determined by the type involved. At Clear Mind Treatment, we commonly use a combination of psychotherapy with antidepressant drug therapy.
Antidepressants
Antidepressants work by adjusting your brain chemistry in several ways. There are currently over 30 different antidepressants available on the market today.
Psychotherapy
Individual and group-based therapy can help patients better review and process their underlying emotional concerns to change negative thoughts and behavior patterns.
TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation therapy uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate sluggish neurons within the brain’s mood center. For more on our TMS Therapy, visit our TMS program page.
Holistic Therapy
Alternative activities such as yoga, journaling, meditation, equine therapy, massage, and self-discovery, patients tend to exhibit a reduction in stress and more relaxed moods.
