Return To Depression Article Archive   Treatments for Depression - There Is Hope In Current and New Treatments for Depression By John Gibb Depression in all its forms is very treatable. There are many types of treatments for Depression available. You and your doctor can decide together whether you are depressed, and if so, what type of Depression you have, and finally the course of treatment that would best meet your needs. Psychotherapy has long been known as 'talk' therapy and/or counseling. By participating in Psychotherapy, you will explore you and how you cope with life, relationship issues, interpersonal skills and issues, and any effects your past may have on your current state of being. There are medications available that fall into basically four classes. MAOIs - monomine oxidase inhibitors that can reduce the effects of other prescriptive medications you may be taking. They also may negatively interact with particular foods or beverages such as wine and cheese. SSRIs - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors work by changing the level of Serotonin in the brain. Trycyclics is a class that is rarely if ever used anymore due to the very serious side effects. They affect both Serotonin and Norepinephrine levels. SSNRIs - Selective Serotonin and Noradrenergic Reuptake Inhibitors increases the amounts of both Serotonin and Norepinephrine in the brain.
