Depression Treatment

Depression is a mental health condition that affects more than mood. It can interfere with the way you think, feel, and function. At Promises DFW, we offer focused care for several types of depression:

• Major depressive disorder (MDD): Ongoing low mood, fatigue, and a loss of interest in everyday life.
• Persistent depressive disorder (PDD): Chronic symptoms lasting two years or longer, even if they come and go.
• Depression linked to PTSD: Depression that appears alongside the emotional effects of trauma.
• Bipolar depression: The depressive cycles that are part of bipolar disorder.

Understanding the specific type of depression you’re experiencing helps us build the right treatment plan for you.

Depression symptoms may differ from person to person. Some of the most common include:

• Feeling sad, numb, or hopeless most of the time
• No longer enjoying hobbies or social activities
• Sleep disturbances or appetite changes
• Ongoing fatigue or lack of energy
• Difficulty with focus or decision-making
• Low self-esteem or guilt that won’t go away
• Thoughts of death or suicide

If these symptoms sound familiar, reaching out for help can be the first step toward feeling better. Treatment can offer real relief.

Our approach at Promises DFW combines therapies that target both emotional and behavioral patterns. Each plan is customized to fit your needs, with options like:

• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): Helps change unhelpful thought patterns and improve problem-solving skills.
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): Supports emotional regulation and helps reduce intense mood swings.
• Trauma-informed counseling: Connects depression with unresolved trauma, creating space for deeper healing.
• Actionable tools: Finding ways to regulate emotions in daily life can make each day a little easier.
• Medication support: In some cases, psychiatric medications can help stabilize mood and reduce symptoms.
• Mind-body techniques: Options like yoga, breathwork, or guided relaxation can promote balance and resilience.

You’ll work closely with your care team to decide which combination of supports makes the most sense for you.
