Treatment would involve battling the depression from every angle possible - which would include: a biological, psychological, social, and spiritual (meaning & values) perspective. Much of depression is rooted in negative self-talk or thinking about self and learning how to become more aware of self-talk and thinking and learning how to use strategies to successfully address it is key.
