Depression Therapy

Depression Therapy

Depression is a serious mental health condition that can impact so many people across the globe. For some, depression may arise because of something bad that happens in their lives. For others, depression may show itself with or without any reason at all. If you are curious about how depression therapy works at the Lotus Wellness center, then don’t hesitate to contact us. We are happy to talk with you further about our services and how what we offer can alleviate the depression you are experiencing. We understand that right now it may feel difficult to reach out for help at this current moment, but it is an important step in getting yourself back on track to feeling like yourself again.

All it takes is a quick email or phone call and we can get you set up with an appointment. Our team has over 10 years of experience and is ready to offer compassionate support today. 

What Is A Healthy Routine?

When working through a period of depression, we may suggest establishing a depression therapy daily routine. Giving yourself structure can be a great way to  ensure you continue to do the things you need to do to take care of yourself right now. Setting a routine can regulate your internal body clock, improve sleep, and provide a sense of control and normalcy. Firstly, our team may suggest engaging in more physical activity. Exercise is an influential tool in fighting against depression. Not only does it boost your physical health but it can release good-feeling chemicals in the brain, such as endorphins. These are natural mood lifters, so partaking in regular physical activity can reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression, boost your self-esteem, and keep your energy levels higher. We recommend starting out with daily small and achievable goals, so that you do not overwhelm yourself. Take on more modest but accomplishable steps and tasks everyday.

Another way that we can support you as you create a healthy routine is a talk about maintaining a balanced diet. We understand that people can be sensitive or feel triggered when talking about their eating habits. However, it’s just a reminder that the nutrition you put in your body can play a big role in your overall mental health. For instance, a diet that is rich in lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can better your mood and make your brain feel good too. Foods that have high concentration of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants can combat the stress that is often linked to mood disorders. Limiting how much caffeine, sugar, and processed foods you absorb everyday and before bedtime can assist in stabilizing your energy levels and keeping your mood balanced.

Depression Symptom Relief

Other ways that you can help reduce your depression symptoms include prioritizing your sleep, building a supportive network of people around you, and practicing relaxation techniques. Quality of sleep is essential for feeling at your best. We know that many people who have depression struggle with sleep specifically. We can work with you on how to follow a regular bedtime schedule and how to create an environment that is restful. Having people around you who are emotionally supportive at this time can be influential in your depression recovery. Connecting with your loved ones or support groups can offer comfort even when you aren’t feeling so well, as it still reminds you that there are people around you who care. If your social group or family doesn’t provide that supportive network you need or are the cause of your stress, then we can talk with you about joining workshops or group therapy sessions at our clinic. In these activities, all of the attendees are going through a similar experience and can be instrumental in each other’s healing process.

Techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, and progressive muscle relaxation can fight against stress while improving your mental clarity. Such practices encourage us to think about what is right in front of us in the present moment and gain a broader awareness of our thoughts and feelings without judging them. We understand that navigating the difficulties of depression can feel burdensome. We know that sometimes the hardest step is finally deciding to get support for what you are going through. Please know that you are not alone and there are so many people just like you who struggle with depression. Let us help guide you back to the light.
