Understanding Major Depression

Major depression is a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness that last for two weeks or more. These feelings significantly interfere with daily activities and overall well-being. It’s important to recognize that depression is not a sign of weakness or failure, but rather a medical condition influenced by a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors.

Common symptoms of major depression include:

Persistent sadness, hopelessness, or feelings of emptiness
Fatigue, exhaustion, or lack of motivation
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities
Changes in sleep patterns (insomnia or oversleeping)
Appetite changes, leading to weight fluctuations
Physical symptoms like headaches, body aches, or digestive issues
Thoughts of self-harm or suicide

Major depression can occur alone or alongside other conditions, such as anxiety, trauma, or bipolar disorder. Although it can feel overwhelming, professional treatment can help manage symptoms, uncover underlying causes, and work toward a healthier future.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Major Depression Treatment

At Agua Dulce Treatment Center, we provide comprehensive care designed to address both the symptoms and root causes of major depression. Each treatment plan is personalized to meet your unique needs, ensuring that you receive the support and strategies that work best for you.

Take The First Step

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Depression often coexists with other mental health conditions, such as anxiety, trauma, or bipolar disorder. Our dual diagnosis program treats both depression and any co-occurring disorders simultaneously, ensuring a more effective recovery.

Individual and Group Therapy

We offer both individual and group therapy sessions, utilizing evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help individuals understand and manage their depressive symptoms.

Holistic Therapies

Recognizing the importance of healing the whole person, we incorporate holistic therapies like yoga, mindfulness, art therapy, and wellness activities to promote emotional and physical well-being.

Medication Management

For some individuals, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help manage symptoms. Our medical team carefully monitors medication use to ensure safety and effectiveness, tailoring treatments to each individual's needs.
