Depression

How does therapy help with depression?

Psychotherapy can help people with depression to:

• Pinpoint life events that contribute to their depression and help them find ways to
  change, accept or adapt to those situations.
• Identify distorted thought processes or unhelpful behaviors that contribute to feelings of
  hopelessness and helplessness.
• Develop skills to cope with symptoms and problems, and identify or prevent future
  episodes of depression.
