Find Depression Psychologists in Istanbul, Turkey

Effective psychological treatments include behavioural activation and cognitive behavioural therapy ¹. Interpersonal psychotherapy and problem-solving therapy are also used.

Effective treatment exists for mild, moderate and severe depression. A depressive episode means low mood, or loss of interest in things you enjoyed. It lasts most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks.

Low mood after a loss or a hard year is not automatically a disorder, though support can help. Ask a practitioner what they would suggest, and why.
