What we do
COGNITIVE BEHVAIOURAL THERAPY (CBT)
INTERPERSONAL THERAPY (IPT)
ANTIDEPRESSANT MEDICATION
Anitdepressant medication helps stabilise the brain and reduce the symptons of depression such as feeling sad for no reason loss of interest/ pleasure in things you do and helps you maintain a healthy sleep pattern aw well.
There are many different types of anit-depressant drugs to use although they all have side affects and some of these can be quite sevre.
CBT recognises that a person's way of thinking (cognition) and acting (behaviour) affects the way they feel.
CBT has an emphasis on changing thoughts and behaviour by teaching people to think rationally about common difficulties, helping them to shift their negative or unhelpful thought patterns and reactions to a more realistic, positive and problem-solving approach..
IPT is a structured psychological therapy that focuses on problems in personal relationships and the skills required to deal with these problems. IPT is based on the idea that relationship problems can have a significant impact on a person experiencing depression, and can even contribute to the cause.
