English Version

Está disponible una variedad de tratamientos efectivos para ayudar a personas con depresión. Las principales categorías son los medicamentos antidepresivos y las psicoterapias (o asesoría). Algunas formas de depresión se pueden tratar con psicoterapia sola. Otras requieren medicamentos antidepresivos o una combinación de medicamentos y asesoría. Los medicamentos brindan alivio a los síntomas y ayudan a corregir cualquier anormalidad subyacente de los químicos cerebrales. La asesoría le puede ayudar a aprender maneras más efectivas para lidiar con la depresión y los factores que originalmente la causaron o la desencadenaron.

El tratamiento involucra lo siguiente:

  • Cambios en el estilo de vida
  • Medicamentos
  • Terapias alternativas y complementarias
  • Otros tratamientos - terapia

No hay opciones quirúrgicas para el tratamiento de la depresión.
