Types of Depression Treatment
Many people who contact our clinic seeking help for depression will have tried some form of treatment in the past.
People with depression will often seek help from their GP first, who’ll usually prescribe a form of antidepressant medication.
In some cases, medication may be enough to get individuals suffering from depression through a tough time, but for others suffering from more clinical depression they may still be suffering from negative thoughts and other symptoms. Depression can also cause an addiction issue to occur to drugs and alcohol as a way to self medicate, which is why we offer dual diagnosis treatment at Asana Lodge.
Studies have shown that the most effective way to deal with depression is through a combination of medication and psychological therapies, so that’s what we aim for at Asana Lodge.
We offer a dual diagnosis programme for depression and addiction issues which consist of therapies such as group and family therapy sessions during your stay.
We also offer pioneering therapies Satori Chair Therapy ,which has much improved in recent years and work great for those who struggle with dual diagnosis.
In addition to traditional treatments, we also offer holistic therapies that can help put you in a better mindset. We also ensure you get physical activity as fitness is shown to have a very big impact in reducing symptoms of mental health and addiction recovery.
This includes taking regular walks in the countryside, as well as fitness and mindfulness sessions which are also carried out alongside these activities. For an additional charge we can also offer therapies such as massages which help you relax during your stay.
How To Spot Depression
There are many different types of depression, from mild to severe, and they can often be associated with another mental health problem such as bipolar disorder or psychosis.
Therefore, it can be tough to get an accurate diagnosis of depression, which is why you need to deal with a qualified mental health professional, rather than trying to diagnose yourself.
However, here are some common symptoms of depression to look out for:
- Ongoing feelings of sadness or hopelessness
- Frustration and irritability
- Losing interest in your favourite activities
- Having trouble carrying out everyday tasks or concentrating
- Feeling worthless
- Getting tearful for no apparent reason
- Difficulty making decisions
- Not wanting to socialise
- Poor performance at work
While depression is a mental health issue, it can also have physical effects on the body. Those suffering from depression may have symptoms such as:
- Changes in appetite – friends and family may notice a rapid weight loss or gain, as well as digestive problems
- Sexual problems
- Low energy
- Restlessness
- Slow movements
- Sleep pattern changes – this can be in the form of insomnia or excessive sleeping
- Aches and pains
- Addiction to drugs and alcohol – way to self medicate
If you are suffering from a combination of the above symptoms, it may be time to seek help so you can get your life back on track.

Depression often goes hand in hand with substance abuse disorders such as drug and alcohol addiction, which is known as a dual diagnosis.
Dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders are known to develop when individuals suffering from mental illnesses such as depression decide to self-medicate using drugs or alcohol which after prolonged use causes an addiction to develop.
This is also something we can help with as all our treatment programmes are completely bespoke and tailored to towards your own personal circumstances.
Treatment for depression comes in many forms as no individual is entirely the same with many suffering from depression in different ways.
This is why upon admission to our clinic you will undergo an initial medical assessment so we can develop a deeper understanding of your condition and develop a treatment programme.
The benefit of this is that therapies and treatments will be tailored to your specific needs, ensuring you get time to talk through all your issues and can be taught the best methods to deal with the symptoms of your condition.
