Home / Treatment Approaches / Therapy For Depression
Therapies for depression range from medication to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to trauma-informed treatment, such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Because depression is experienced in different ways, therapy for depression must be individualized in order to be most effective.
At TICTI, our expert clinicians work one-on-one with you to understand your diagnosis and help treat your depression. Your therapy will always be personalized to your needs.

Depression (major depressive disorder) is characterized by feelings of sadness or loss of interest in normal activities – and can also include anger, irritability, anxiety, and other symptoms. Depression is more than just a low mood that lasts a day or two—it’s a serious condition that changes your previous level of functioning. Symptoms may persist indefinitely.
The symptoms of depression may include the following:
It’s important to note that some medical conditions (e.g. thyroid problems, vitamin deficiency, or diabetes) may look similar to depression. Although depression is generally caused by trauma, loss, or problematic life situations, when no such cause is obvious, medical issues should be ruled out.
Treatment for depression can include medication or psychotherapy. Some individuals may also need a hospital stay or an outpatient treatment program. Psychotherapy has been found to be at least as effective as medication, with more durable results and no risk of medication side effects.
