Periods of sadness are a part of life, but chronic depression is a condition that can benefit from professional care. Depression is a mood disorder where clients feel persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or apathy. One of the most effective methods of treatment for depression is a combination of medication and therapy. In some cases, hospitalization may be necessary. At Spark Recovery, your individualized treatment plans may include goals to address your maladaptive behaviors and skills for managing your symptoms of depression. These will be addressed in your group therapy sessions and individual meetings with your therapist.
