Depression Therapy
More than 21 million American adults have a major depressive episode in a given year.
What's going on
If you're carrying this, you are nowhere near alone, no matter how it makes you feel. And the fear of being judged for getting help isn't just uncomfortable — it measurably works against you.
And the fear of being judged for getting help isn't just uncomfortable — it measurably works against you.
In one large clinical study, people who anticipated more stigma around depression treatment were ten percentage points less likely to be in remission three months later than people who didn't carry that fear[1].
Stigma doesn't just feel bad.
It gets in the way of actually getting better.
It’s like drowning even though you know how to swim.
How we can help
Bloom Integrated Health draws from a wide array of therapies composed for each individual patient, because every individual is unique.
Clinical guidelines recommend several well-supported approaches — cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral activation, interpersonal therapy — without ranking any one of them consistently above the rest.
We believe this confirms our emphasis on the individual, and that different modalities work differently for different people. One rigorous head-to-head comparison found behavioral activation performs just as well as CBT, with similar success rates.
If one approach doesn't fit how you think, another one, just as legitimate, usually does.
More paths exist than most people realize, and you don't have to figure out which one alone.
