Depressive Disorders (MDD, General)

Depressive disorders are more than feeling down or having a bad day. It’s a persistent and often overwhelming condition that can affect every part of life. Whether you’re experiencing a constant sense of sadness, emotional numbness, or a lack of motivation, know this: you’re not alone, and healing is possible.

At Florida Atlantic Coast Treatment Solutions (FACTS), we understand the complexity of depressive disorders, including Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and other forms of clinical depression. Our compassionate team offers evidence-based, individualized care at our trusted mental health treatment center in Florida, helping clients reconnect with hope, purpose, and joy.

What Are Depressive Disorders?

Depressive disorders are mental health conditions that affect mood, energy levels, thinking patterns, and day-to-day functioning. They are among the most common mental health issues in the world, with nearly 4% of the global population experiencing them in their life. Yet they are also highly treatable with the right support.

Common Types of Depression We Treat:

  • Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) – characterized by persistent low mood, fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, and loss of interest in once-enjoyed activities.
  • Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia) – chronic low-level depression lasting two years or more.
  • Situational Depression – a short-term form of depression triggered by specific life events like loss or a traumatic event occurring.

Signs & Symptoms of Depression

While everyone experiences depression differently, common symptoms may include:

  • Persistent sadness or emptiness
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  • Fatigue or lack of energy
  • Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
  • Sleep disturbances (insomnia or oversleeping)
  • Loss of interest in activities or relationships
  • Changes in appetite or weight
  • Thoughts of death or suicide

If you or a loved one is struggling with any of these symptoms, reaching out for help is a vital and courageous first step.

Compassionate Treatment for Depression at FACTS

We know that depression looks different for everyone. At FACTS, our approach is rooted in empathy, clinical excellence, and holistic healing. We tailor every treatment plan to each individual, helping every client find the path that works best for them. Our team of specialists uses the following therapies to aid the healing process:

CBT helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns that contribute to depression. Through this approach, individuals learn to challenge those thoughts and replace them with healthier, more empowering ways of thinking.

DBT focuses on building emotional regulation skills, improving mindfulness, and reducing emotional distress. It is especially helpful for individuals who experience intense emotional reactions or have difficulty with interpersonal conflicts.

Advanced therapies like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) help individuals process and release unresolved trauma or emotional pain that may be fueling their depression.

One-on-one therapy sessions create a safe and private space to explore emotions, identify goals, and work through personal challenges. Each session is tailored to the individual’s unique needs and pace.

In group therapy, clients connect with others facing similar struggles. Through guided discussions and shared experiences, they build social support and develop valuable insight into their own healing.

We incorporate holistic practices like yoga, art therapy, mindfulness, and sound healing to help clients reconnect with their bodies and emotions. These practices promote relaxation and support healing on a deeper level.

Family involvement is a key part of long-term recovery. Our therapy sessions and educational workshops help strengthen communication, address misunderstandings, and foster a supportive home environment.
