Depression is one of the most commonly recognised mental health conditions across the world, with one in every three people experiencing the condition at some point in their lives. For people who suffer from or a prone to depression, it's crucial to know that you can seek help and talk to someone wherever you are in the walk. We offer psychiatry in Marbella so that you can be sure you have someone on hand to aid your treatment.

Overcoming your depression will often take more than simply visiting a therapist but our psychiatry in Marbella will always make sure you have all the support you need to aid your self-treatment. Here are some of the things you can do to help manage your depression:

Exercise

Getting plenty of exercises isn't just good for your body, it's great for your mind too. The natural endorphins that are released by your brain when you exercise will lift your mood and give you a positive feeling that can really help if you're feeling depressed. We will always encourage you to get into a regular exercise routine to accompany any psychiatry in Marbella that you may be having as part of your treatment. Good exercises to try are yoga, swimming and running. All of these give you something to focus on that will help to distract your mind whilst you exercise providing a mental relief from your depression. They're also great exercises for releasing endorphins.

Self-help groups

To accompany any therapy you may be having as part of your psychiatry in Marbella, we would also recommend finding a supportive self-help group. This will give you a chance to share your feelings with people who have felt or are feeling a similar way. You can share thoughts and feelings and even advice on how to tackle those thoughts and feelings. IT also gives you a chance to socialise and make new friends which can also be a great way to tackle your depression.

We also provide a number of different talking therapies as part of our psychiatry in Marbella. Talking therapies give you a chance to discuss your thoughts and feelings in a safe environment with a trained therapist or psychologist. They will be able to talk through your thoughts and feelings and teach your appropriate ways to manage those feelings. The two main types of talking therapies we offer are:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT aims to change the way you think about things that may be potential triggers for your depression. The therapy works with the theory that your thoughts and feelings are all linked to your actions and that these can trap you in a negative cycle. By changing the way you perceive certain triggers you can change your feelings and actions towards them and thus reduce your depression symptoms.

Counselling

Counselling is probably the most recognisable form of talking therapy. This involves a trained therapist listening to your issues and helping you to find solutions to your problems or ways to tackle depressive thoughts and symptoms.
