Depression
What depression means – and what it doesn’t
Depression is characterised by chronic and severe episodes of sadness, feelings of emptiness, and low self-esteem. It can distort your perception of life and those around you, leading to social withdrawal and a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. Contrary to common myths, depression is not a sign of weakness or something you can simply “snap out of.” It’s a deep-rooted psychological disorder that requires proper treatment and support. Anyone can develop depression, regardless of their success or capabilities – but with a curated combination of therapy, medication, and support, you can overcome depression and lead a fulfilling life.

How we work
Types of depression, & what it can stem from
Depression is a complex condition with various origins including genetic, biochemical, environmental, and psychological factors, and it is often intertwined with other mental health issues. Major depressive disorder, for instance, is characterised by prolonged periods of intense sadness and hopelessness, while dysthymia represents a chronic, less severe form of depression that lingers over years. Depression can also present in the context of other mood disorders, such as bipolar disorder, where individuals swing between depressive lows and manic highs.
Anxiety and PTSD are frequent companions to depression, exacerbating the emotional turmoil and complicating the recovery process. Similarly, burnout from chronic workplace stress can evolve into a depressive state, sapping energy and diminishing interest in daily activities. Personality disorders – which affect the way individuals think, feel, and relate to others – often feature depressive symptoms that make everyday interactions and self-perception more challenging.
Substance abuse is another significant contributor. Drug addiction and alcohol dependency can create and amplify depressive symptoms, trapping individuals in a cycle of self-medication and worsening mental health. Eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating disorder are often linked with depression, as struggles with body image and self-worth manifest through disordered eating behaviours. Addictions beyond substances, such as gambling or porn addiction, are sometimes also present. These behaviours may initially serve as a coping mechanism for stress or emotional pain but eventually lead to greater mental health issues, including depression.

Whole-person, individually curated treatment for depression
Depression is a deeply personal and multifaceted condition. By curating individualised treatment plans, we ensure that therapeutic methods and interventions are specifically tailored to address the root causes of depression. This curated approach provides effective and meaningful support, allowing you to navigate the recovery journey with treatments that resonate with your personal experiences and challenges.
For instance, a person who has been battling a major depressive disorder alongside anxiety and burnout might begin with a comprehensive assessment by our multidisciplinary team, including psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists. Through a combination of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns and mindfulness practices to reduce stress, they’d start on the path towards symptom relief and long-term wellbeing. Or, treatment for depression linked to bipolar disorder and past trauma could involve a combination of medication management to stabilize mood swings and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to process traumatic memories. In both cases, our team’s curated, whole-person approach ensures that every aspect of mental health is addressed – from biological to psychological and social factors. Our luxury, fully private depression treatment takes place in an intimate, one-to-one setting in an elegant central London property. This means no groups, no other patients – just a safe and supportive environment where clients can feel comfortable and secure.
Recognising the stigma that often surrounds mental health issues – especially depression – we always prioritise privacy and discretion. This nurturing atmosphere encourages individuals to openly share their experiences and engage with their treatment, fostering the trust and openness that are critical for healing. Through these foundational principles, we help individuals not just manage their depression but thrive beyond it: offering a path toward renewed mental health and wellbeing.

FAQs:
Inpatient depression treatment at Harbor
How do inpatient depression treatment programmes differ from outpatient options?
Inpatient depression treatment programmes offer a more intensive and immersive approach compared to outpatient options. At Harbor, clients reside in our luxurious and private London properties, allowing them to focus entirely on their recovery without the distractions and stressors of daily life. Our inpatient programmes provide 24/7 support from a multidisciplinary team of mental health professionals, ensuring comprehensive and continuous care. In contrast, outpatient programmes might involve regular therapy sessions and check-ins while the client continues to live at home, which may not provide the same level of immediate support and intervention.
What types of depression do you treat?
We treat a wide range of depressive disorders, including major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia), bipolar disorder with depressive episodes, and depression related to anxiety, PTSD, and personality disorders. Our team is equipped to handle complex cases where depression is accompanied by other mental health conditions such as drug addiction, eating disorders, and trauma.
How do inpatient depression treatment programmes address both the symptoms and underlying causes of depression?
We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand each client’s unique situation. Treatment plans often include a combination of psychotherapy, medication management, and wellness therapies. By addressing the biological, psychological, and social factors contributing to depression, we provide a thorough and nuanced approach to treatment that promotes long-term recovery and wellbeing.
What therapeutic modalities are commonly used in depression treatment?
At Harbor London, we use a variety of therapeutic modalities curated for each client’s unique needs. These include cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). We also incorporate wellness approaches such as art therapy, yoga, and nutrition counselling to support overall health and wellbeing.
How can individuals transition to lower levels of care or maintain progress after completing treatment for depression?
Transitioning to lower levels of care is a crucial step in maintaining progress after inpatient treatment. We provide a structured aftercare plan that includes ongoing outpatient therapy, support groups and resources, and regular check-ins with our mental health professionals. Clients are also given strategies and tools to manage their symptoms and prevent relapse. We emphasise building a strong support network and encourage participation in community resources to ensure sustained recovery.
How much does depression treatment typically cost?
The cost of depression treatment at Harbor London varies based on the length of stay and the specific treatment plan required for each client. For detailed information on costs and to discuss your specific needs, please contact our team today.
