Depression

There are many different types of depression. It is one of the most common mental illnesses in the world, yet it is still highly misunderstood. It can happen for a wie variety of reasons and can be extremely difficult to get rid of. For some it is a life long illness. Knowing how to cope with depression when it is at it's worst is life saving.

One of the most effective ways to treat mental illnesses is dialectical behavior therapy. This covers crisis survival, emotional regulation and more. This is something you can work on with your therapist and also just look up online.

When other methods fail or don't work enough, some turn to medication. Although there is still a stigma surrounding people who take antidepressants and other medications, it can be very helpful for some. However, you should know that it is not a magic cure, but a complicated process that takes years of testing and unwanted side effects, and may not be right for everyone.
