How can mental health experts help someone with depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several Ways: You can be assessed to ensure that there is not a medical reason for depression. Depression is a brain illness that causes you to have negative thoughts. Individual therapy can help you recognize and change these thoughts. In some cases, medication may be used to combat the changes depression causes in brain function. If neither of these is helpful, there are more aggressive treatments.
