Treating Depression

Clinical depression can be treated and managed through a combination of medication and therapy that's personalized to the patient. The process of finding the right kind of antidepressant and medication dosage can take some time and it may take several weeks for a person with depression to feel the full effects.

Making healthy lifestyle changes can help in treatment for depression, along with medication and therapy. Things like healthy eating, exercise, reducing alcohol consumption and meditation can help relieve some of the symptoms of depression and keep depressive episodes from happening.
