Depression Treatment

Depression is more than just feeling sad—it’s a serious mental health condition that can affect your thoughts, emotions, and daily functioning. With this in mind, Promises Atlanta provides targeted treatment for:

• Major depressive disorder (MDD) – Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and disinterest in daily activities
• Persistent depressive disorder (PDD) – Long-term depression lasting two or more years, with fluctuating symptom severity
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-related depression – Depression that develops alongside trauma-related symptoms
• Bipolar disorder depression – The depressive episodes that occur as part of bipolar disorder

Understanding your symptoms is the first step toward seeking help and finding an effective treatment plan.

Depression symptoms vary from person to person, but common indicators include:

• Persistent sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness
• Loss of interest in hobbies or activities once enjoyed
• Changes in appetite or sleep patterns
• Fatigue, lack of motivation, or difficulty concentrating
• Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or self-doubt
• Thoughts of self-harm or suicide

If you or a loved one is experiencing these symptoms, professional treatment can provide the necessary tools to manage and overcome depression.

Promises Atlanta’s depression treatment program is tailored to your unique needs. We utilize a combination of therapies to address both emotional and behavioral aspects of depression:

• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) – Helps reframe negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) – Teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness techniques
• Trauma-informed therapy – Addresses past trauma and its impact on mental health
• Medication management – When necessary, medications can support stabilization and symptom relief
• Holistic approaches – Incorporating mindfulness, yoga, and relaxation techniques to enhance overall well-being

With personalized treatment plans and a compassionate team, we can help you develop the skills needed to achieve long-term stability and emotional balance
