What depression therapy involves

Therapy is one of the most effective treatments for depression. Common evidence-based approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which targets the negative thought patterns that keep low mood going, and behavioral activation, which helps you re-engage with activities that bring meaning and energy. Interpersonal therapy (IPT) focuses on the relationships and life changes that can contribute to depression. For some people, therapy works best alongside medication managed by a physician or psychiatrist.

Depression can look like persistent sadness, but it also shows up as numbness, irritability, fatigue, or losing interest in things you used to enjoy. If low mood has lasted more than a couple of weeks or is affecting daily life, it's worth reaching out. The providers below work with depression and can talk through what might help. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
