Do I Need Treatment and Therapy for Depression?

You have been trying your best to be okay. You are known to be a person with a sweet disposition in life, so why are you depressed? Why do you feel like you are in a dark shadow?

Maybe it is high time for you to go to a doctor and check if you have depression. If you already have and your doctor confirmed that you have depression, then why are you not getting the treatment you need? Perhaps you are thinking that you can get over it in a ‘natural way’, besides, people in the past managed to survive without seeking help, so can you!

I hate to burst your bubble, but that is not true. Depression is a disabling disease that affects many. Just like how you go to your doctor to ask for medication for your chronic illness, you should also treat depression the same way and seek professional advice to cure for depression.

There are several luxury treatment centers in the US that help patients find their way to recovery. If you do not take our advice at face value, we have gathered below the crucial reasons why you need treatment for depression.

The Reasons Why You Need Treatment for Depression

• Depression hurts.

Do you know that your mental pain is proportional to your physical pain? Your sore muscles, insomnia, aching joints, and poor digestion can be signs of depression. Pain is your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong and you seriously have to check it.

• Depression can mask underlying problems.

People diagnosed with depression tend to endure the pain and wait until they are in a dire situation to seek medical help.

For example, a woman who is avoiding a check-up with a doctor finally goes to the hospital to know why she is experiencing pain in her breast area. Then at the hospital, she finds out that she already has breast cancer. The pain in her breast was not just ‘anxiety’.

Remember the mantra: mind over matter? This does not apply to that. If your pain continues to exist, you need the final diagnosis of a doctor to find out the cause. When you avoid treating depression at an early stage, your pain could go longer than it should be.

• Depressed people tend to self-medicate and it can be dangerous.Majority of people who have depression tend to look for ways to alter their mood or emotional state by using illegal drugs, drinking alcohol, or even binge eating. They are trying to treat their depression with these destructive behaviors. They do not realize this but they are only worsening the situation.

Self-medication can be life-threatening. You can die from drug overdose, alcohol poisoning, and serious health problems related to obesity. Treating depression at its core can help you stop self-medicating.

• Extreme depression can lead to suicide.

Depression is considered a terminal disease for some. The emotional and mental anguish of their problem can be overwhelming for them so they think that death is the only way to liberate them.

Depressed people tend to have suicidal thoughts and when it becomes regular, eventually they will succumb to their illness and successfully take their own life.

Acceptance is the only way to change. If you keep on denying your pain, then you will not have the courage to face it and treat it. It is hard to admit that you are depressed, but there is nothing to be ashamed of. We want you to know that it is okay not to be okay.
