Depression

Everyone gets blue once in a while, but depression disorder is when the feeling quite simply won’t go away.

Depression is often characterized by a loss of pleasure, a decrease or increase in appetite, loss of interest in sex, a persistently anxious or unhappy mood, social withdrawal, low energy and more.

Depression is sometimes treated with psychoactive drugs. We prefer to help depression with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. We strive to isolate the emotional response and triggers and help the patient through a step-by-step logical progression, where we identify emotional barriers and address them specifically.

With strength-based training, we believe it is possible to have long-lasting, positive results on patients.

  3. This is a really insightful and easy-to-understand post about how depression goes beyond just feeling sad and can affect many parts of life. I like how it highlights practical approaches like CBT to address underlying triggers and build healthier thinking patterns. It’s encouraging to see that with the right support, recovery is possible, especially for those seeking depression treatment in Richardson and looking for effective, long-term solutions.
