Depression Treatment in Tirana

Depression is not simply sadness or a difficult phase. It affects mood, energy, sleep, thinking and the way you function every day. With the right support, most people feel significantly better.

Common signs of depression

• low mood for most of the day
• loss of interest and pleasure
• tiredness and lack of energy
• problems with sleep or appetite
• difficulty concentrating
• feelings of guilt or worthlessness
• withdrawing from others
• hopeless thoughts or thoughts of death

When these signs last longer than two weeks and affect your life, it is time to talk to a specialist.

How we treat depression at Serafeim Care

Treatment starts with a careful psychiatric assessment: your symptoms, how long they have lasted, your personal and medical history, and the impact on daily life. On this basis we build a plan together, which may include:

• psychotherapy (e.g. CBT, psychodynamic or integrative therapy)
• psychoeducation for you and, if you wish, your family
• regular psychiatric follow-up
• medication, when necessary and appropriate
• practical strategies for daily structure, sleep and activity

Every decision is made carefully and together with you.

When to seek help

• low mood has lasted for weeks
• work or family life is becoming difficult
• you no longer enjoy anything
• you feel stuck and see no way out

If you are having thoughts of harming yourself or feel in danger, call 127 or 112 immediately, or go to the nearest emergency department.
