Frequently Asked Questions

This program has ten sections.

We strongly recommend you complete sections 1 and 2 before moving on to other sections. These lessons help you overcome common barriers that hold individuals back from taking action when depressed. You will begin to identify the issues you need to work on while using this program. We’ll talk about suicidal thoughts, how to stay safe, and how to handle difficult emotions. 
After completing the first two sections, you can complete lessons in whatever order you would like.

Section 3 is the longest section in the program. It addresses the many causes of depression, such as stress, loneliness, grief, trauma, and much more. We strive to decrease the impact of the factors contributing to your depression.

Section 4 is all about your support system. Support is so crucial when fighting depression. Luckily, there are many ways you can find support. This section can also help you identify sources of negativity in your life. We will focus on both decreasing and better handling negativity. 

Section 5 is about emotional awareness. You’ll begin to explore your mind—recognizing rumination, identifying cognitive distortions, practicing mindfulness, and expanding your emotional vocabulary. These lessons prepare you for section 6, where you will work with your thoughts.

Section 6 will help you address unhealthy thought patterns. Rewiring neural pathways takes a lot of time and effort, so we will encourage you to dedicate ample time to work with your thoughts.

Section 7 can help you increase self-acceptance and self-compassion. This section can help you identify, analyze, and improve dysfunctional expectations. Then you will have an opportunity to dedicate time to developing your self-image, self-esteem, and self-worth.

Section 8 is about routine, habits, and goals. This section can help you create healthy habits, modify existing habits, and break bad habits. The topics in this section seem simple, but they can be powerful. 

Section 9 is about self-maintenance—exercising, eating well, getting sunlight, and getting consistent sleep. Everyone knows that these things can better their mental health; that knowledge is not enough. We will focus on making these actions manageable.

Section 10 is the final section of this program. First, we want you to see the progress you have made. Then we will concentrate on decreasing the odds of relapse. Once you complete these lessons, you will have made it through the program.

Comparing this program to therapy can help many individuals better understand their options and better understand what they are purchasing.

One session of therapy typically costs around $100. The max price of this program is $300 for lifetime access—including all future improvements. With our program, you get about 70 lessons. The effect of using this program is comparable to months worth of therapy for under $300.

We love therapy, but it isn’t perfect. Maybe you can’t fit treatment into your schedule. Perhaps you don’t feel comfortable speaking to a therapist, or you work the same hours that mental health professionals work. The Depression Solutions Program is more convenient and accessible. You can use it whenever and wherever you’d like. Plus, you don’t need to free up a whole hour—just something like 10 minutes most days.

Therapy has some advantages over our service. Some things should only be handled by professionals, such as trauma. If you aren’t making progress with your depression or mental health, you should see a professional. However, the majority of individuals using our program see noticeable improvement.

Once you have paid, you receive lifetime access to the material of the program! This means there isn’t a rush. Be patient; healing takes time.
