Treatment of moderate depression how to do

summary

Depression has become one of the more and more common diseases. In fact, depression is generally divided into mild depression, moderate depression and severe depression according to the genetic, physical and other reasons caused by depression. In order to help you have a better understanding of depression, let me introduce the treatment of moderate depression.

Treatment of moderate depression how to do

First, cognitive therapy. Patients with moderate depression often feel as if they have no hope. They blame themselves when something bad happens, and when something good happens, they think it's just because of luck. In addition, people with depression often believe that things won't get better. The purpose of cognitive therapy is to help them identify their negative way of thinking, help them think in a more positive and beneficial way, make them feel that they can control what happened, make them learn to fight back against failure more effectively, and recognize and believe that good things will happen in their life.

Second, behavior therapy. People with depression often don't want to move. They can sit there for hours and think about their difficulties, thus losing many good opportunities. When they react, they will regret it. Behavioral therapy aims to identify and change behaviors that cause or sustain depression. The methods of behavior change include activity planning, problem solving, goal planning and social skills training.

Third: antidepressant therapy. Antidepressant therapy can reduce the depressive symptoms of most patients and prevent recurrence. However, if the depressive episode is not very frequent, most patients do not need to take medicine every day. They only need to take medicine when they are depressed and continue to take medicine for 6 months to 1 year after the depression is relieved. Antidepressants don't immediately relieve depression, and it takes a while for them to take effect.
