Understanding Depression
Depression is a real mental illness and it can affect a person’s quality of life and relationships. Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders. While sadness is part of being human and it is a natural reaction to painful circumstances that all of us experience at some point in our lives, depression is an illness with many symptoms that extend well beyond an unhappy mood, and must not be ignored but be treated as such.
While depression may require long-term treatment, most people with depression feel better with medication, psychotherapy, or both. Our team of experts at Frinz Care understands that everyone’s journey with depression is different. We use proven methods to help you in your recovery process and to take charge of your life again.

Depression Treatments
There are several therapeutic treatments for depression, and the choice of therapy often depends on the individual’s specific needs, preferences, and the severity of their depression. Here are some of the most commonly used therapeutic treatments for depression our Frinz Care team may use in working with you to treat symptoms of depression.
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a widely recognized and evidence-based approach that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with depression. It focuses on teaching practical coping strategies and problem-solving skills.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT): IPT is a time-limited therapy that concentrates on improving interpersonal relationships and addressing specific issues that may contribute to depression, such as grief, role transitions, interpersonal disputes, and social isolation.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT): MBCT combines elements of CBT with mindfulness techniques. It helps individuals become more aware of their thoughts and feelings, fostering a non-judgmental attitude that can prevent relapses in recurrent depression.
- Psychodynamic Therapy: This form of therapy delves into the root causes of depression, often related to unresolved past experiences or conflicts. It aims to increase self-awareness and understanding of underlying emotional issues.
- Behavioral Activation (BA): BA focuses on helping individuals engage in rewarding and meaningful activities to counteract the effects of depression. It emphasizes setting and achieving specific goals.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, DBT includes components that can help individuals with depression, such as emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT encourages individuals to accept their emotions and experiences while committing to values-based actions. It emphasizes mindfulness and self-compassion.
- Group Therapy: We offer group therapy sessions to provide a supportive environment where individuals with depression can share their experiences, learn from others, and practice social interaction skills.
- Family or Couples Therapy: In cases where depression affects the family or relationship dynamics, involving family members or partners in therapy can be beneficial.
It’s important to note that the effectiveness of therapy can vary from person to person, and it may take time to find the right approach. Some individuals benefit from a combination of therapies or a tailored treatment plan. Working with our qualified mental health professional at Frinz Care to determine the most suitable therapeutic approach for your specific situation will help you navigate the right therapy plan for you.
