Treating Your Depression

We’ve broken this down into two steps.

Step 1: Get connected. Your primary care practitioner should be able to refer you to a mental health practitioner if you need more support. There are two big distinctions in mental health care:

Medical practitioners: Primary care practitioners, psychiatrists, nurse-practitioners, and physician’s assistants can prescribe medications to treat your depression and other symptoms it can cause, and they sometimes offer psychotherapy. They are trained to evaluate for medical problems masquerading as mental health problems.

Nonmedical psychotherapists: There are many different training programs for therapists. Therapists with a master’s degree in social work (MSW), a master’s in family therapy (MFT), or a doctorate (PhD), as well as licensed clinical therapists and others, can provide talk therapy and support those working through their depression. They cannot prescribe medications.
