Learn How Therapy Can Help

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities. It affects millions of people worldwide and is one of the most common forms of depression. Depression therapy in King of Prussia can play a significant role in helping individuals recover from MDD.

Bipolar disorder involves extreme mood swings, ranging from depressive episodes to periods of high energy and euphoria. The depression phases are often deep and long-lasting. Depression therapy is essential in managing bipolar disorder and promoting stability.

Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD), also known as dysthymia, involves chronic low-grade depression lasting for at least two years. Because its symptoms are not as pronounced it often goes undiagnosed for years. People with PDD can greatly benefit from therapy to alleviate symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) typically occurs during the winter months when there is less natural sunlight. This condition is characterized by depressive symptoms that are typically relieved in the spring and summer. Therapy can help individuals cope with SAD and minimize its impact on their well-being.
