(888) 576-3999Benefits of Teen Counseling for Depression
If you go to our homepage and scroll down to the part that says “what we treat,” the first word listed is “depression.” There are many reasons for that. Depression is one of the most common mental health concerns that brings teens to our facility and brings their parents to reach out to us. Here at Insight Academy, we’ve been providing teenage counseling for depression successfully for many years. Depression is not one of those issues that can be just wished away or ignored. Getting counseling for your teen’s depression can help in a variety of ways.
Teenage Counseling for Depression: It Works
Studies have shown that if teens’ depression isn’t helped with counseling, it could get worse. The earlier you get your teen help with depression, the better it could be for them in the long run. Sure, it’s easy to just think “oh, my kid’s a teen, of course they’re depressed,” but if your child has been depressed for a long period of time, then it’s best to take proactive measures. We can put together a personalized treatment plan for your child that will be able to tackle not just their depression, but the root causes of the depression.
The Source of Depression
Being a teenager isn’t just about “being moody” or anything like that. The teens that come to our facility dealing with depression almost invariably have some underlying issue that needs to be resolved. Depression doesn’t just show up one day out of nowhere in a teenager. It isn’t something that just happens, and then sticks around for a long period of time. Serious depression is a symptom, something that’s a sign of something that a teen has been dealing with. Rarely is it something that they just started dealing with – it’s almost always something that they have been dealing with for some time. Our team of pros can find out what that “something” is and then work to resolve it.
Doesn’t Always Just Include Depression
When a teen has depression, they rarely just have depression by itself, in isolation. Typically, they also have a variety of other issues as well that have to be dealt with. For example, many of the teens that come to our facility for depression have also been engaging in self-harm, have issues with addiction, or even have considered (or attempted) suicide. When you come to Insight Treatment, we don’t just treat the symptoms, we treat the entire person.
Techniques that Have Worked for Generations of Teens
Every child is unique in their own way. This is true of their strengths, and this is true of the issues that they’re dealing with, as well. The techniques that our pros use here at Insight Treatment have worked for more than 25 years. That means we have helped several generations of teenagers overcome their depression and their other symptoms, yes, but also their underlying traumas too.
