Understanding when you need to get help for your condition from an Orange County depression center is the key to setting yourself up for recovery.

When to Get Help for Depression

When most people use the term depression, they feel sad or bummed out. Acute depression is a temporary situation where you might have sad feelings because of a significant life event like a death in the family, job loss, financial strain, moving to a new city, and so forth. In these situations, depression or feelings of sadness are manageable, and while you might struggle for a few weeks, they don’t necessarily interfere with your daily life beyond the event in question.

Understanding Depression

When you seek treatment for depression at our Orange County treatment center, we can help treat the different types of depression that exist today.

Clinical Depression

Clinical depression or major depressive disorder is a mood disorder that has an impact on how you feel, how you think, and how you behave. Depression to this degree can interfere with your daily activities. Clinical depression is not something that you can overcome on your own by sheer force of will, but something that requires depression treatment in Orange County to help you manage symptoms long-term.

Causes of Depression

Serious depression is very complex, and there can be many overlapping causes or contributing factors.

  • Some people battle major depressive disorder as a symptom of required medications. In these circumstances, the medications might be required for a more serious health concern like cancer. In this case, individuals need treatment in the form of coping skills or therapy that can help them manage the depressive symptoms.
  • Some people have undergone trauma, especially unresolved childhood trauma. They may not even know the trauma has led to depression. In any case, getting help in the form of cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy, individual therapy, even family therapy can help individuals better understand the source of their depression and subsequently manage the triggers that lead to worsening symptoms.
  • Some individuals struggle with depression after significant life changes like the death of a loved one, and that depression compounds to the point that it becomes clinical depression that requires things like medication and therapy.
  • Women who struggle during childbirth might require medication as part of their long-term treatment to deal with postpartum depression.

Whatever your circumstance, depression can happen when you have any type of chemical imbalance in your brain. This chemical imbalance can be caused by medication, high levels of pain or illness, age, stress, diet, genetics, or even drug and alcohol abuse.

Customized Treatment & Ongoing Support

Depression, sometimes called Major Depressive Disorder, is a serious medical disease. Depression can not only change the way you think and feel but lead to emotional and physical problems where you no longer care about hobbies or activities you once loved, where you don’t spend time with friends or family, and where you no longer take care of yourself.

 

Addiction is right around the corner for many people who struggle with depression. Addiction and depression create a terrible cycle where people who struggle with chronic depression and long-term feelings of worthlessness, insomnia, problems concentrating, and even suicidal thoughts try to self-medicate with drugs or alcohol. But the more those drugs or alcohol or assumed, the more they change the way the brain works and the more depressed you become.

Co-Occurring Conditions

Many people who struggle with depression also face coexisting conditions, some of which are other mental health problems like anxiety or schizophrenia, but more often, depression coexists with substance abuse problems like drug addiction or alcohol addiction. When people suffer from undiagnosed or untreated depression, they often self-medicate with drugs and alcohol, substances that can exacerbate the symptoms of depression, leading to increased symptoms and struggles with depression and abuse alike.

 

For that reason, when you get Orange County depression services, it is best to find a treatment center in Southern California designed to handle coexisting conditions. Services like these will provide you with customized treatment and ongoing support that helps tackle whatever conditions you struggle with, including your depression.
