How Therapists Assess Depression?

A thorough assessment is the foundation of effective treatment. When you meet with a therapist, they will use several methods to understand your condition. This process typically includes:

  • Clinical Interviews: An in-depth conversation about your symptoms, personal history, and current life stressors.
  • Screening Tools & Questionnaires: Standardised forms to measure the severity of your depressive symptoms.
  • Evaluation of Functional Impact: Assessing how depression affects your daily life, relationships, and work.
  • Identifying Co-occurring Conditions: Checking for other issues like anxiety or substance use that may exist alongside depression.

How we help

Treatment Options Offered by Therapists for Depression in Bangalore

Our therapists treating depression in Bangalore offer a range of evidence-based treatments. After a comprehensive assessment, a personalised care plan is developed, which may include one or more of the following therapeutic approaches.

01

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is the cornerstone of treatment for depression. A therapist works with you to identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. Common modalities include:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Helps you recognise negative thought patterns and develop healthier responses.
  • Interpersonal Therapy (IPT): Focuses on improving your relationships and social functioning.
  • Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT): Combines CBT with mindfulness to help you manage your thoughts and feelings.
02

Symptom & Risk Management

Therapists equip you with essential skills to manage acute symptoms like overwhelming sadness, fatigue, or irritability. They also create a safety plan to manage any risks, such as thoughts of self-harm. If your needs exceed outpatient care, your therapist will guide you toward a higher level of support, such as intensive outpatient programs or inpatient care, ensuring you are always safe.

03

Treatment of Co-Occurring Conditions

It is common for depression to occur alongside other mental health conditions like anxiety disorders, PTSD, or substance use disorders. Our therapists are trained to identify and address these co-occurring conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach ensures a more holistic and effective treatment, leading to better overall mental health and long-term stability.

Voices of recovery

What families tell us

Depression is such a difficult situation to face. My family was so supportive through my recovery journey. But, I must give special credit to the team at Cadabams, who took such good care of me at their rehabilitation centre. Thank you for helping me return to my life.

James Verghese

My daughter was suffering from Depression. She had tried to hurt herself as well. The entire family was scared. The staff and doctors at Cadabams were so understanding. They really seemed to care about our daughter, and we felt a little peaceful after she began rehab at Cadabams. She is slowly but surely making significant recovery and we couldn't be happier.

Bharat Bhargav

I never thought depression could happen to me. I always thought of myself as a happy person. But, slowly I started noticing the changes. I was no longer finding joy in life and most of my time would be spent having really dark thoughts. It got so bad that I had to choose rehabilitation. Rehabilitation at Cadabams was so effective. It helped me recover and gave me the confidence that I could fight the dark thoughts if they ever returned. Thank you so much Cadabams!
