Not everyone does. Some people benefit from medication, and others focus on therapy. We’ll talk through options so you can make an informed decision.
How long does depression treatment usually last?
It depends on your symptoms, history, and goals. Some people need several weeks of structured support; others continue in treatment or aftercare for longer. Your team will check in with you about what’s working and what needs to change.
