If you’re struggling with treatment-resistant depression, your journey may seem like a never-ending battle. You might feel like no matter what methods of therapy and self-care you try, nothing helps to relieve the persistent feelings of despair.
If you’ve reached a point where you feel there’s nowhere else to turn, there is hope! There are other options for managing your mental health – solutions that could make all the difference in helping you return to a better state of mind and outlook on life. If you’re unsure whether it’s time to explore beyond traditional therapies for your depression, think over the following signs:
You’ve Been In Therapy For A While With No Improvement
It’s Hard To Stick To Your Treatment Plan
You’re Still Experiencing Symptoms Despite Treatment
Symptoms Are Getting Worse
If your symptoms are getting worse, or you are having suicidal thoughts, get help immediately. Suicidal thoughts can signify that your depression is severe and that you need more intensive support. While therapy can be incredibly helpful in managing depression, it may not be enough to address the severity of suicidal thoughts. It’s essential to prioritize your safety and well-being by seeking additional support.
