Understanding depression and the impacts
What is depression?
Depression, also known as major depressive disorder, is a mental health condition that goes beyond temporary sadness or mood changes. It often causes a persistent sense of hopelessness, loss of interest in activities, changes in appetite or sleep, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly 1 in 5 U.S. adults will experience depression at some point in their lives, making it one of the most common (yet treatable) mental health disorders. Left untreated, depression can impact relationships, work, and overall quality of life.
At Seaside Wellness, we specialize in depression treatment that combines evidence-based therapies, holistic approaches, and individualized care to help clients overcome symptoms and reclaim a fulfilling life.
Signs and Symptoms of Depression
Depression looks different for everyone, but there are common warning signs that indicate when professional help may be needed. Recognizing these symptoms early is key to preventing the condition from worsening.
- Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
- Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
- Changes in appetite or weight (eating too much or too little)
- Trouble sleeping or oversleeping
- Low energy and constant fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
- Physical symptoms like headaches, stomach issues, or body pain
- Thoughts of death or suicide (in severe cases)
If you or a loved one is experiencing several of these symptoms for more than six weeks, it may be a sign of depressive disorder, and professional treatment should be sought. We provide the tools and support to address both the emotional and physical impact of depression.
Understanding the effects of untreated depression
When left untreated, depression can affect nearly every part of a person’s life, from relationships and work to physical health. The impact can be both immediate and long-term, making early intervention essential.
Short-term effects
- Persistent sadness and hopelessness
- Irritability and mood swings
- Loss of motivation and productivity
- Withdrawal from friends and family
- Difficulty focusing or making decisions
Long-term effects
- Increased risk of substance abuse
- Strained or broken relationships
- Worsening physical health (heart disease, weakened immune system)
- Chronic feelings of emptiness and low self-worth
- Suicidal thoughts or behaviors
Depression is not a phase that simply passes on its own. Without treatment, the risks escalate in severity over time. Our depression treatment programs help clients manage symptoms, address root causes, and prevent these long-term consequences.

Depression treatment at seaside
We provide personalized depression treatment that addresses both the emotional and physical impact of the disorder. Our goal is not only to relieve symptoms but also to help clients build long-term coping strategies, restore hope, and regain balance in their daily lives. Treatment plans are tailored to each client and may include:
Individual Therapy (CBT & DBT)
Evidence-based therapies that focus on reshaping negative thought patterns, teaching healthy coping skills, and reducing depressive symptoms.
Group Therapy
A safe space where clients connect with others, share experiences, and learn communication skills that foster support and encouragement.
Family Therapy
Depression affects not only the individual but also loved ones. Family therapy strengthens relationships, improves understanding, and builds a supportive home environment.
Medication Management
When needed, our medical team provides careful evaluation and medication support to help stabilize mood and reduce the severity of symptoms.
Holistic Approaches
Mindfulness, meditation, yoga, nutrition, and other holistic practices are integrated to promote overall wellness and reduce stress.
Dual Diagnosis Support
For those experiencing both depression and a co-occurring condition such as anxiety or substance use, we provide integrated care that treats both together.
Our depression treatment programs
At Seaside, treatment for depression goes beyond symptom management. We aim to build a strong foundation for lasting recovery. Our programs are designed to provide a structured, supportive environment where clients can focus fully on healing, free from daily stressors and triggers. We create individualized treatment paths that address each person’s unique needs and long-term goals.
Dual Diagnosis and Depression
Depression often doesn’t exist in isolation. Many people struggling with depression also experience co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, trauma-related conditions, or substance use issues (alcohol, benzos etc). This is what is called dual diagnosis. When both mental health and addiction are present, treating only one condition can leave the other unaddressed, making recovery far more difficult.
Our dual diagnosis approach provides integrated care that targets both depression and co-occurring conditions at the same time. This comprehensive method ensures that clients receive therapy, medication management when appropriate, and personalized support for the full scope of their challenges. By treating the whole person, we help clients build a foundation for long-term recovery and emotional stability.
At Seaside Wellness, we specialize in treating dual diagnosis by addressing both conditions at the same time. Focusing on only one issue often leaves the other untreated, which increases the risk of relapse. By providing integrated care, our team ensures clients learn how their anxiety connects to other challenges and develop strategies for long-term recovery. Our dual diagnosis program includes therapy, medication management when appropriate, and holistic practices. All designed to help clients manage symptoms, build resilience, and move forward with stability.

Most frequently asked questions
What are the common symptoms of depression?
Depression can show up in many ways, including persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, changes in sleep or appetite, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of hopelessness or guilt. Severe cases may also include thoughts of self-harm or suicide. If you or a loved one is experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to seek professional help.
How do you treat depression at Seaside?
At Seaside, we use a combination of evidence-based therapies (such as CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care), medication management when needed, and holistic approaches like mindfulness and nutrition support. This integrative model helps address both the immediate symptoms and the root causes of depression.
What is dual diagnosis and how does it relate to depression?
Dual diagnosis refers to the presence of both a mental health disorder, such as depression, and a substance use disorder. Many people living with depression turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to cope, which can worsen symptoms. At Seaside, our dual diagnosis program treats both conditions together, leading to more effective and lasting recovery.
How long does depression treatment take?
The length of treatment varies depending on each client’s needs, the severity of symptoms, and whether there are co-occurring conditions. Some clients may benefit from a short-term residential program, while others may require ongoing support and aftercare. Our team creates a personalized plan to ensure you receive the right level of care.
Can depression really be treated successfully?
Yes. With the right combination of therapy, medical support, and lifestyle changes, many people with depression experience significant improvement and go on to live healthy, fulfilling lives. Treatment may not “cure” depression completely, but it provides tools to manage symptoms and prevent relapse.
Do you offer medication for depression?
When appropriate, our psychiatric team provides medication management as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Medication can help stabilize mood and reduce symptoms, but it is always combined with therapy and holistic support for the best outcomes.
How do I know if I need residential treatment for depression?
Residential treatment may be the right choice if depression is severely impacting daily life, relationships, or safety. It’s also recommended for individuals who haven’t responded well to outpatient care or who struggle with co-occurring disorders. Our admissions team can help you decide if residential care is the right fit. Call (855) 416-5648 to discuss your situation.
