Therapists In Denver And Nearby Specializing In Depression

Depression comes in many forms, each affecting individuals differently. Major depression is a severe affective disorder that can disrupt social and occupational functioning, leading to feelings of sadness, hopelessness, loss of interest or pleasure, changes in appetite, sleep disturbances (insomnia or hypersomnia), and even suicidal thoughts. Dysthymia, while less severe than major depression, presents as a chronic condition with a slower onset of symptoms. Other forms include Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood and Postpartum Depression.

Therapists and counselors specializing in depression often employ a range of approaches, including cognitive therapy, couples counseling, nutrition guidance, and family therapy. They are skilled in recognizing when therapeutic interventions are appropriate and when it is necessary to refer clients to psychiatrists for medication assessment and prescription.
