Depression Explained
Depression is much more than normal feelings of sadness that can happen in relation to typical emotions or events in your life. It is a mood disorder that brings about severe, persistent symptoms and must be addressed professionally.
Depression can stem from many different places, often resulting from more cause than one. It may come from difficult events in your life, such as losses, medical issues, major life changes, breakups, financial issues, and more.
Brain chemistry or hormonal changes can also cause depression, whether from grief, pregnancy, stress, trauma, etc.
It can also run in families; thus, if a relative of yours has a depression diagnosis, you are at a higher risk for this condition.
Depressive Symptoms
When you’re depressed, it can influence the way you act, think, and feel. In order to be officially diagnosed, you must have experienced persistent symptoms for two weeks or more.
Symptoms often manifest in these ways:
- A loss of interest in usual activities
- Anxiety or nervousness
- Appetite changes
- Despair
- Drastic mood swings
- Fatigue
- Hopelessness
- Irritability
- Issues concentrating or making decisions
- Low self-worth
- Memory problems
- Sadness
- Sleep problems
- Slowed thinking, speaking, or movements
- Suicidal thoughts

Temecula Depression Treatment
At Jackson House, we provide depression treatment in Temecula built around your individual success. We use evidence-based techniques and four methods of treatment so you can pursue long-term relief.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of talk therapy that teaches you how to identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that you struggle with, as these patterns often play a part in your depression.
You and your therapist will work together to determine healthy ways to move forward, with the goal of implementing coping skills, shifting unproductive behaviors, and embracing new, healthier perspectives.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience very intense emotions that feel difficult to manage. It is based on CBT and is an alternate form of talk therapy.
DBT teaches you about accepting challenging feelings and learning how to make positive changes in spite of them. Mindfulness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal relationships are skills that you can practice with this treatment method.
Medication Management
You might need medication as part of your treatment plan. Medication management involves professional assistance from psychiatrists who can determine the best way for you to move forward.
There are a range of antidepressant options, and the Jackson House Temecula team can help identify the type and dosage of medication that best fits your needs.
Stress Management
When you experience chronic stress, it can impact both your mental and your physical health, often contributing to depression by either causing or exacerbating symptoms.
Lifestyle changes involving your sleep, exercise, and nutrition habits can make a major difference in the way that you feel, as can certain mindfulness techniques. Jackson House Temecula is here to teach you how to practice mindfulness through meditation, yoga, and more.
