Yes, depression is treatable. Treatment often involves a combination of medication and psychotherapy. Antidepressants, such as SSRIs, SNRIs, and tricyclic antidepressants, help to normalize neurotransmitter levels. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other forms of psychotherapy aim to address negative thought patterns and behaviors. In severe cases, treatments like electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) or transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) may be considered.
