How do I make an appointment? Where is Conant House located? How confidential is counseling?		Depression can be treated with therapy, medication, or the combination of the two. The right treatment depends on your specific needs. The options should be discussed with a mental health professional (e.g., psychologist, counselor, therapist, psychiatrist). Other professionals may also be helpful in recommending treatment options. These people include physicians, nurses, and faith leaders. Colgate’s Counseling & Psychological Services has trained counselors who can help you get the treatment that is best for you. Psychotherapy is one option that teaches people to better cope with their problems. Underlying causes of depression are examined and possible solutions are found. If problematic relationships are one of the causes of your depression, a counselor can help you learn to interact with people more effectively. If medication might be helpful, a counselor can explore this option with you.
