What Is Depression?
Depression is a mood disorder that can affect sleep, appetite, motivation, concentration, energy, relationships, and the ability to function day to day. Some people feel persistently sad; others feel numb, irritable, slowed down, or disconnected from the life they want.
When depression is moderate to severe, treatment often requires more support than weekly therapy alone. PHP and IOP create the repetition, structure, and accountability many adults need to start moving again.
When to Seek More Than Weekly Therapy
- Symptoms are affecting work, school, relationships, or self-care
- You have tried weekly therapy or medication without enough improvement
- Symptoms are escalating or becoming harder to manage alone
- You need coordinated therapy and psychiatry instead of fragmented appointments
- You are stepping down from a higher level of care and need continued structure
