What are the main symptoms of depression?
Core symptoms include persistent sadness or emptiness, loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy, sleep or appetite disturbances, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.
How long does depression therapy take?
Therapy for mild-to-moderate depression typically lasts 3–6 months. Severe or recurrent depression may require longer treatment or a combination with medication.
Is CBT effective for depression?
Yes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the best-evidenced treatments for depression. It focuses on identifying negative thought patterns and replacing them with realistic alternatives.
When is medication needed for depression?
Medication is usually considered for moderate-to-severe depression or when psychotherapy alone is insufficient. This decision is made by a psychiatrist in collaboration with the patient.
Can I treat depression with online therapy?
Yes. Research shows that video-based psychotherapy for depression is as effective as in-person sessions, especially for mild-to-moderate episodes.
