Treatment for Depression
According to the Mayo Clinic treating depression involves several different methods depending on your level of depression and associative mental health issues. The main professionals who provide mental health services geared at depression are primary physicians. Typically an individual who believes they are depressed will see their primary care physician to get a checkup of their general health. Following a routine exam and battery of mental health questions, a physician will either recommend or provide the patient with a referral to a mental health specialist. Mental health professionals who focus on depression include:
- Counselors
- Psychotherapists
- Psychiatrists
Under AmeriHealth Depression Treatment Centers coverage you will be able to receive a wide range of benefits for services including outpatient, inpatient and partial hospitalization.
Medications Prescribed for Depression
One of the most common methods of treating anxiety or depression is through prescription medications. These meds are categorized to include:
- Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, i.e. Cymbalta and Effexor XR
- Tricyclic antidepressants, i.e. Pamelor and Tofranil
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, i.e. Prozac, Paxil, Celexa and Zoloft
- Norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors, i.e. Wellbutrin
- Monoamine oxidase inhibitors, i.e. Nardil and Parnate
Being prescribed medications for treating depression and anxiety offers relief for many individuals. However, the process of discovering which treatment works for whom can take some experimentation. It is not unusual for a mental health professional to try various medications in order to find the perfect formula for an individual’s treatment for depression or anxiety.
