A Look At Different Depression Treatment Regimens And Programs
One of the most prevalent health problem in many countries
around the world is depression. Indeed, researchers have
concluded that a majority of people will experiencing clinical
depression at some point during their lifetimes. As a result,
all people should at least have a basic awareness of what
different depression treatment regimens are available in the
21st. Indeed, when it comes to depression treatment, there are a
number of different options available to people afflicted with
this possibly debilitating disease.
If a person is suffering from a mild, isolated case of
depression, an effective depression treatment program may
include more sleep, an improved diet and increased exercise. In
some instances, a combination of these recourses does result in
an effective depression treatment regimen.
Many people find themselves suffering through a more serious
bout of depression. In such instances, a depression treatment
program must include professional assistance. When consulting
with a qualified health care professional, a depression
treatment program that includes therapy and medication or
medications is likely to be recommended.
When it comes to a depression treatment program, medications are
helpful to aid in the reduction of the symptoms that commonly
are associated with a depressive illness. With that said, in
most cases, it is important that a depression treatment program
include therapy. Therapy is an important element of a depression
treatment program in many cases to assist the afflicted patient
with discovering the root causes of the depressive illness with
which he or she is afflicted.
In some instances, a
depressive illness is so serious that a
depression treatment program includes inpatient hospitalization.
In most instances, a person who is hospitalized for a depressive
illness will only be confined for a short period of time -- for
a matter of days. The goal of hospitalization as a depression
treatment regimen in the 21st century is patient stabilization.
The long term treatment will be conducted on an outpatient
basis. Long gone are the days (in most cases) in which
stabilization and intensive treatment occurs while a patient is
involved in an inpatient depression treatment program.
In recent years, many mental health care professionals have
again begun to advocate the use of EST (electro-shock therapy)
for patients who have a more profound depressive illness. For
some period of time in the 1970s and 1980s, EST as a depression
treatment option was frowned upon by a wide sector of the mental
health care professional community. However, in recent years,
the techniques associated with EST have been refined and many
doctors have come to see beneficial results in their patients
who are subjected to a depression treatment regimen that
includes EST. But, again, EST is utilized as a depression
treatment option in only a limited number of cases in which the
depression of a particular patient is severe and unabated over
an extended period of time. As with depression treatment
programs that include medication, patients who receive EST also
participate in a course of therapy to try and discover the root
causes of the depressive illness.
