“What kind of therapy can fix depression?”

Assessment and diagnosis of the type of depression, and its severity, will need to be conducted, to determine appropriate therapeutic treatment and interventions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and intervention exercises related to self compassion, gratitude journaling, having healthy boundaries for the self and others, building and maintaining genuine and supportive connections, and self awareness of potential self sabotaging behaviors, are some examples of the types of therapy and interventions, that can assist in treating depression. Other alternatives include medication management, intensive partial day program treatment, hospitalization, depending on the severity of depressive symptoms.
