Life Works is a leading, private behavioural health clinic for depression treatment and other behavioural health issues. As such, we are dedicated to helping you overcome your depression. We are able to provide custom holistic depression treatment that focuses on your physical, psychological and spiritual needs. Our depression treatment programme also helps you find the root cause of your depression. This facilitates healing and helps patients come to terms with their illness. Our goal is to make sure everyone leaves with healthy strategies for living a happy life.

At Life Works, we value the role of the family in treating depression and family therapy forms an integral part of primary, residential treatment at Life Works. Our Family Week programme provides a safe and nurturing environment to overcome the problems that arise from broken lines of communication between family members. We believe that together these elements provide a strong foundation for healthy, sustained, long-term recovery.

Advice on what you can do about your problem with depression

• Understand that you did not choose to become depressed. When you are depressed, your brain is functioning abnormally and your thoughts become distorted and overwhelming. We know that depression is an illness, not a character flaw – and as such, you need and deserve the same medical treatment that anyone else with a chronic illness would receive.
• Find a treatment programme, like Life Works, that looks beyond your distorted thinking, depressed behaviour and physical symptoms. An effective programme will look at your distorted thought patterns but importantly, it will also examine and address the underlying psychological factors that influence these thoughts, behaviours and physical symptoms. Depression is not just about feeling low or thinking negatively – it is a life-threatening, psychiatric illness that is much more serious than just the symptoms it produces.
• Find a treatment programme, like Life Works, that includes assessment and treatment for any other pre-existing or co-occurring mental health issues, behavioural health issues or mood disorders - for example, anxiety or problems with drugs, alcohol or food – that may also be affecting you. These issues often exist alongside a person's depression and if left untreated, they can impair the effectiveness of treatment, so it's essential that they are identified and addressed as part of your treatment programme.
