Members,

Here are five steps to help begin healing:
  • Talk to a health or mental health professional.
  • Choose a treatment professional and a treatment approach with which you feel comfortable.
  • Consider yourself a partner in treatment and be a knowledgeable consumer.
  • If you are not comfortable or satisfied after two to three months, discuss this with your provider. Different or additional treatment may be recommended.
  • If you experience a recurrence, remember what you know about coping with depression and don't shy away from seeking help again. In fact, the sooner a recurrence is treated, the shorter its duration will be.
