Inpatient depression treatment rehab centers

Depression can be embodied in many ways. For some it feels like an overarching sadness, for some it feels numb, for some, it feels normal and for some, it feels like an impossible conflict. For some, depression can be characterized as hopelessness, loss of interest in activities that once were pleasurable, irregular sleep, lethargic demeanor, and self-blame. In extreme circumstances, depression can also lead to the risk of suicide and/or self-harm. When these feelings become an overwhelming and constant state – there is a need for exploration and self-discovery.

Although depression can manifest in many different ways if you are experiencing any or more of these signs in a consistent manner – seeking support would be beneficial. At Addiction Rehab Toronto, we work with individuals on a daily basis who experience depression. And with Addictions interplaying with depression, these symptoms can magnify.

Addiction takes many tolls on an individual’s life such as decreased physical health and the deterioration of healthy relationships. It is also important to understand how mental health plays a role in active addiction. The process of addiction can often operate in a cyclical manner, as it relates to mental health. Certain life experience can evoke emotions and cognitions that may produce a mental health illness, such as anxiety or depression. In order to cope with these feelings, the individual may turn to drugs or alcohol, which then can lead to engaging in risky behaviours or situations and continue the cycle of mental health deterioration.
