What Is Depression?
Depression is more than just sadness.[1] Depression is an all-pervasive, persistent change in how you think, feel, and view yourself in the world. It can make getting out of bed, having reliable relations with others, or enjoying the things you once did nearly impossible. If untreated, depression affects every area of your life, including your relationships, work, physical well-being, and self-esteem. But with the proper care, healing is absolutely possible.
New Life takes a whole-person approach to treating depression. Our evidence-based programs address the biological, emotional, and societal aspects that underlie what you are feeling. Whether you suffer from a major depressive disorder, a persistent depressive disorder, or are going through a situational episode, we will help you move from merely attending to life to fully living life again.
Signs and Symptoms of Depression
It’s normal to have ups and downs, but when sadness or emptiness lasts for more than two weeks and starts to interfere with daily life, it may be a sign of depression.
Common signs of depression include[2]:
- Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
- Loss of interest or pleasure in once-enjoyed activities
- Fatigue or low energy
- Changes in appetite or weight (increase or decrease)
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Sleep disturbances (insomnia or oversleeping)
- Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or shame
- Restlessness or slowed movements
- Thoughts of death or suicide
Depression looks different for everyone. Some people mask it with busyness, others might withdraw completely. No matter how it shows up for you or someone you love, help is available — and recovery is possible.
When to Seek Help
If you or someone you love has been struggling with multiple symptoms for more than two weeks, or if life feels unmanageable, it’s time to reach out for support.
You don’t need to wait until you “hit bottom” to ask for help.
Here are a few signs it may be time to seek professional treatment:
- You’re isolating from family, friends, or work.
- Everyday responsibilities feel impossible to manage.
- You’re relying on alcohol or substances to cope.
- You’ve had thoughts of self-harm or hopelessness.
- You’ve tried therapy or medication before but need more support.
At New Life, we know that reaching out can feel intimidating. That’s why we make the process simple. One confidential conversation can open the door to real change.
Depression Treatment at New Life
Actual healing takes more than just medication or a single form of therapy. It involves connection, understanding, and a treatment plan that meets you where you are. At New Life, we offer depression treatment that integrates evidence-based care with genuine caring. You will find structure here when things seem uncertain, hope when things appear heavy, and a team that believes in your ability to heal.
What Sets Us Apart
New Life does not treat symptoms; we treat people. We believe that everyone has the capacity for recovery, and our programs are based on this belief. By combining the latest clinical treatment with a warm, restorative environment, we help you rebuild from the inside out.
Here’s what makes New Life different:
- Evidence-Based Therapies: We use trusted modalities as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to support you in changing thought patterns, in emotional regulation, and creating lasting change.[3]
- Collaborative, Licensed Team: Our psychiatrists, psychologists, clinicians, and therapists work together to create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.
- Whole-Person Healing: Beyond therapy, we integrate life skills development, psychoeducation, and experiential therapies that strengthen resilience and self-awareness.[4]
- Restorative Environment: Our center was built with healing in mind. It’s safe, modern, welcoming, and filled with people who care about your growth.
New Life is more than a treatment center. It’s a space where people rediscover hope, connection, and confidence in their ability to heal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best treatment for depression?
There is no single answer that suits everyone, but the combination of therapy and medication typically yields the strongest results. Methods that have been proven effective, such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness, align well with the psychiatric treatment of the brain and heart.
How long does depression treatment normally take?
Treatment lengths are based on your condition and your response to treatment. Some clients experience improvements in a few weeks, while more profound healing may take months. We work at your pace, do regular evaluations, and make adjustments as needed.
Can depression come back after it’s treated?
Yes, it can — many people experience recurring episodes.[5] But with ongoing support, relapse prevention strategies, and early intervention, future episodes become easier to manage and less intense.
Are support groups part of depression recovery?
Definitely. Support groups offer peer bonding, validation, and shared strength. At New Life, we combine group therapies with support groups, in conjunction with individual treatment, to help you feel seen and supported, rather than isolated.
Does insurance cover depression treatment at New Life?
We work with most major insurance providers and guide you through the benefit verification process. If you don’t have insurance or need alternative support, we offer sliding-scale rates and payment plans to ensure quality care remains within reach.
What’s the difference between PHP, IOP, and outpatient therapy?
- PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program): A structured, full-day treatment for those needing intensive support during waking hours.
- IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program): Multiple therapy sessions each week while maintaining life routines.
- Outpatient Therapy: Weekly sessions for long-term growth and maintenance as part of everyday life.
How soon can I begin depression treatment at New Life?
We aim to make the process easy and quick. After your confidential consultation and review of insurance/payment options, we will book your first appointment as soon as possible — usually within a few days.
