Depression Treatment
- Overview
-
- Depression Affects Millions: Roughly 20 million Americans will experience depression this year. Many of these people will not get appropriate treatment and many will experience some stigma from their condition.
- Seasonal Affective Disorder: In some places, winter light conditions induce a seasonal syndrome of depressive symptoms that affect as much as 15% of the population! Treatment can be as simple as the use of an ultra bright light in the home or workplace
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Although medications are important in the treatment of depression, psychotherapy can sometimes work just as well – without inducing the side effects of strong medications.
