method used to treat acute depression&nbsp;is&nbsp;medication.&nbsp;And the&nbsp;selection of medications is strictly individual.&nbsp;A&nbsp;person&nbsp;suffering from a&nbsp;mental disorder should not self-medicate, which can only harm.&nbsp;After examination, the&nbsp;psychiatrist&nbsp;determines the severity of the depression and&nbsp;prescribes appropriate&nbsp;treatment.&nbsp;It is&nbsp;necessary to involve a psychologist and a&nbsp;psychotherapist in the&nbsp;treatment process&nbsp;.&nbsp;Acute depression differs from&nbsp;other mental disorders by its root cause, hidden in the&nbsp;depths of the subconscious (fears, psychological trauma, unfinished relationships, negative experiences).&nbsp;Finding the root cause of the disease, helping the patient to control the situation, being self-confident&nbsp;, strengthening his self-esteem&nbsp;are the main tasks of the attending physician.&nbsp;To help people get out&nbsp;of&nbsp;depression, psychologists usually combine several methods (behavioral psychotherapy, humanistic psychotherapy,&nbsp;psychoanalysis).&nbsp;They also use a method to&nbsp;change sensations in the&nbsp;body, as a way to solve psychological problems.&nbsp;In the&nbsp;fight against major depressive disorder, a psychologist helps patients change their usual facial expressions, their gait, and body position in&nbsp;different situations.&nbsp;The&nbsp;first step in treating a depressive disorder&nbsp;is to learn how to relieve stress.&nbsp;This&nbsp;is helped by special trainings, the essence of which is the&nbsp;ability to copy the behavior and&nbsp;habits of happy and&nbsp;healthy people (smile, straightened shoulders, straight back).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clinical
