How Is Depression Treated at NPS?

One way to combat depression is through learned coping strategies. These will help you overcome negative thoughts and difficult memories. Our counselors prefer this method to traditional medication—although we recognize that some cases of depression require the use of antidepressants. That said, medication is never our first choice.

Instead, we prefer natural therapies to ease symptoms and provide support. The most effective natural treatments for depression include:

Talk Therapy

Talk therapy is sometimes referred to as psychotherapy. It’s a great way to learn how to deal with everyday stressors and gain a new perspective on your challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is proven effective in treating depression. Through CBT, you will learn how to modify your thought patterns to change your mood and behavior. 

Natural Treatments

We believe that natural treatments are almost always preferable to medications. And there is a long list of natural remedies that help sufferers combat depression. They include:

  • Changes to diet
  • Positive thinking
  • Neurofeedback therapy
  • Exercise

​​​​​Our bodies are made up of complicated systems. Sometimes, those systems fall out of balance. With a few thoughtful changes to your daily habits and routines, you can get your body (and your mind) back on track.

Christian Therapy

For people of faith, Christian Counseling is the natural solution for managing a mental health condition. If you would like to add a faith-centric element to your existing treatment, our counselors are here for you. Together, we can overcome difficulties and find greater purpose.
