The Facts About Depression
If you're experiencing symptoms of depression, you're definitely not alone. In fact, rates of depression have reached an all-time high in the United States. According to a recent Gallup poll, 29% of U.S. adults report a diagnosis of depression at some point in their lives, with 17.8% currently receiving treatment. Rates in young adults showed the largest jump - an almost 14% increase from 2017 to 2023.
Depression is a complex mood disorder that manifests differently based on factors like genetics, hormones, and life events. Some common symptoms are persistent sadness or hopelessness, irritability, sleep disturbances, fatigue, appetite changes, and difficulty concentrating; however, the experience of depression is unique and often isolating.
How Mission Connection Can Help
Mission Connection makes it clear that depression can impact anyone, regardless of age, gender, or circumstance. If you've been diagnosed with depression, it's not your fault and it's not forever. You can get back to a happier you, and Mission Connection offers tailored treatment plans to help you on your journey to better mental health.
Mission Connection’s treatment process begins with a comprehensive assessment conducted by a licensed professional, who will listen without judgment and identify your specific symptoms, triggers, and underlying factors. Based on this assessment, your therapist will work with you to create your treatment plan.
Your Individualized Treatment Plan
Your therapist may recommend individual therapy, group therapy, medication management, or a combination of approaches to treat your depression. These services are offered both in-person and via telehealth, which research has shown to be equally impactful for many therapy-seekers.
Mission Connection therapists are trained in various evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and trauma-focused therapy. These methods have all been shown to improve overall mental health.
Throughout the treatment process, you will have regular check-ins to track your progress and receive ongoing, one-on-one support. Therapy sessions are confidential and easily adjustable to new and changing needs. Similarly, your therapist can help you address comorbid diagnoses: it's not uncommon for depression to go hand-in-hand with anxiety, OCD, or PTSD, and the professionals at Mission Connection can equip you with practical skills and coping strategies for whatever life throws your way.
“Mission Connection Healthcare adopts a holistic approach to depression treatment, believing that addressing depression involves more than just managing symptoms,” says a spokesperson for the company. “It’s about fostering lasting emotional and mental well-being.”
