My approach to depression is usually to start with the basics. Is the client getting enough sleep, sunlight, proper nutrition, exercise/movement, social contact? I also like to use CBT, particularly behavioural activation, to see if we can start to implement small behaviours that help lift the client a bit. This is then accompanied by deeper discussions about what the client's experience is. Have they lost a sense of control or meaning in their lives? How can we increase motivation and agency?

Depression is a complex disorder in which an individual experiences enduring symptoms including feeling down, insomnia, fatigue, headaches and even thoughts of suicide. Though it has negative affects on the way an individual feels, thinks and behaves, it is treatable. Through the use of cognitive behavioural therapy along with talk therapy techniques, they help by positively guiding thought processes, emotions and behaviors by focusing the attention on how to alter these factors for a hopeful and encouraging state of mind.
