Depression

If any of these symptoms persist for more than two weeks, this is no longer a mood — a specialist is needed

1. 01

   Persistent sadness

   A feeling of emptiness, hopelessness, "nothing matters anymore". Not a passing mood — a state that lasts for days.

2. 02

   Loss of energy

   Even simple tasks require enormous effort. Fatigue does not go away after sleep.

3. 03

   Loss of interest

   Activities that used to bring joy no longer appeal. Withdrawal from loved ones.

4. 04

   Sleep disturbance

   Excessive sleep or insomnia. Both can be a signal of depression.

5. 05

   Self-Blame

   Blaming oneself for everything, feelings of worthlessness, excessive self-criticism.

6. 06

   Physical complaints

   Headaches, stomach pain, changes in appetite — physical symptoms without a medical cause.

CBT, supportive psychotherapy and psychoeducation — a proven combination of methods

1. 01

   Clinical assessment

   The type, severity and duration of depression are determined. Medical history is reviewed.

2. 02

   Working with thought patterns

   CBT methods are used to identify negative automatic thoughts and transform them into realistic alternatives.

3. 03

   Behavioural Activation

   An action plan built from small steps is developed. Life begins to feel meaningful again.

4. 04

   Relapse prevention

   A personalised plan is created for recognising and stopping any possible return of depression.

A single session or a monthly package — we choose the format together
