Depression is a mental health condition that affected approximately 21 million adults in the U.S. during 2021. While some experience mild to moderate symptoms, 5.7% of adults experience severe symptoms with functional impairment. A Mission For Michael (AMFM) offers compassionate and evidence-based care in California, Washington, and Virginia for severe depression.
Our treatment facilities utilize leading clinical practices to treat mental health disorders, including Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and dual diagnosis concerns. We begin treatment with a comprehensive mental health assessment to understand the specific symptoms of depression you’re experiencing and develop a personalized depression treatment plan. For many, the use of health insurance can make the costs associated with mental health depression treatment manageable. We would like to spend time reviewing Kaiser Permanente’s health coverage options for clinical depression to help you better understand your depression treatment options.
Depressive Disorders are mental health disorders that are known to impact emotions, thinking patterns, and daily functioning. Symptoms of depression can include ongoing sadness, hopelessness, and disinterest in enjoyable activities. Fatigue disrupted sleep, and noticeable changes in weight or appetite may also occur.
The intensity of depressive disorders ranges from mild to severe, with your symptoms determining how they affect daily life. Causes of depression can vary widely and may involve biological factors, genetics, chemical imbalances, trauma, stress, or a history of mental health struggles. Some individuals experience co-occurring conditions, such as depression and anxiety, which often require specialized care or dual diagnosis treatment. Treatment options may include therapy, counseling, depression medications, or a combination of approaches tailored to your specific depressive symptoms.
Types of depressive disorders include Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia), and bipolar depression. Depression is highly individualized, meaning symptoms and challenges can differ significantly from person to person. If you’re experiencing any symptoms mentioned, contact AMFM Mental Health Treatment Centers today by dialing (866)478-4383. Our admissions counselors provide free, confidential assessments to help identify the right treatment path based on your symptoms, goals, and lifestyle.
Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders, affecting 21 million adults. Depressive symptoms can vary in severity from mild to severe. Studies have indicated that women are more likely to experience Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) compared to men, though men and women have similar rates for bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder commonly includes depressive episodes.
While the causes and progression of depressive disorders can vary greatly, the average age of onset for depression is in the mid-20s. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIH) indicated that about 14.5 million adults experienced a severe major depressive episode and that about 61% of those who experienced a depressive episode sought treatment. Depression is a treatable condition, though it may take time to find the right treatment regimen for you. If you have been struggling with symptoms of depression, contact AMFM today for personalized support and guidance.

Kaiser Insurance is a prominent health insurance provider that was founded in 1945. Initially, Kaiser was developed to provide healthcare services for those building ships and dams. Kaiser allowed members to pay in advance for their medical services. They later combine health insurance services with healthcare delivery.
Kaiser is known for preventative care benefits and providing excellent member services. They offer a range of brands and products which includes PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) and HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plans with options for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). These plans can affect your coverage options, limitations, and requirements for using in-network providers.

Mental health depression treatment programs are personalized to your symptoms, challenges, and overall level of functioning. Because of individual differences, depression treatment options can vary in frequency, intensity, and duration. Your treatment provider will complete a comprehensive depression screening to determine which treatment approaches are ideal for you.
Depression treatment programs focus on overcoming depression and promoting long-term recovery. Some benefit from continued treatment, rather than having a single treatment experience. Continue reading to learn more about popular depression treatment options.
Residential treatment for depression focuses on providing intensive and comprehensive treatment for symptoms of depression. This includes a full day of treatment including understanding depression, therapy, support groups, and medication management services. Holistic approaches and wellness programs are commonly used to enhance evidence-based approaches.
Kaiser typically covers residential depression treatment programs. Your plan may require that you select a provider from its healthcare network for maximum coverage and prior authorizations.
Outpatient treatment options can include depression counseling sessions in a one-to-one or group setting. This level of care is ideal for mild to moderate symptoms that can be managed without continual support. Outpatient care can include weekly or biweekly sessions, and medication management services when necessary.
Kaiser health coverage options often include coverage for outpatient treatment. You may be responsible for copayments or deductibles at the time of your session.
Partial Hospitalization Programming (PHP) is an intensive outpatient treatment option that provides a full day of treatment services, typically 5 days per week.

The key difference between an IOP and residential care is that you can return home with a PHP for the evening.
Day treatment programs are generally included in Kaiser insurance coverage, though they commonly require prior authorization. This is because PHPs are considered a specialized treatment option for clinical depression.
Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP) is an intensive outpatient option that includes several hours of depression counseling services, for a minimum of nine hours per week. This can include group therapy, individual therapy, and medication management services to help manage depression symptoms. IOPs can often accommodate work, personal, and academic responsibilities.

With several types of depressive disorders, it is understandable that treatment programs offer a range of depression treatment options. This allows you to receive personalized care tailored to your specific symptoms. Depressive disorders can have varying symptoms and severities that respond to different approaches. Continue reading to learn about varying depressive disorders.
Persistent depressive disorder, previously called dysthymia, can cause chronic depressive symptoms for two or more years. This can include low mood, hopelessness, and fatigue. Symptoms associated with persistent depressive disorder can be mild compared to Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), though it still causes significant clinical distress.
Kaiser insurance coverage typically provides coverage for persistent depressive disorder. This can include inpatient and outpatient care, depending on the severity of your symptoms.
When we talk about depression, Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is generally what we first think of. MDD can cause persistent sadness, irritability, isolation, loss of interest, and hopelessness. Physical symptoms like insomnia and appetite or weight changes can also occur. This form of depression can range from mild to severe, causing varying challenges in your day-to-day life.
Kaiser healthcare benefits typically include coverage for MDD. This includes depression counseling and medication management services when necessary.
Psychotic depression is known for the presence of both depressive and psychotic symptoms. The key feature of psychotic symptoms is that there is a disconnection from reality. This can include hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking or speech. This condition often warrants intensive, and immediate, mental health treatment.
Kaiser insurance typically covers treatment for psychotic depression. This includes crisis intervention services, residential treatment, medication management services, and continued support in outpatient treatment.
Women who experience depressive symptoms, beyond the baby blues, after childbirth may be experiencing postpartum depression. Postpartum depression can cause irritability, insomnia, and anxiety symptoms. You may have trouble bonding with your baby. These symptoms can affect your ability to care for yourself and your baby, which is why early intervention is recommended.
Kaiser insurance typically provides coverage for postpartum depression. This commonly includes depression therapy, education, and supportive counseling.
Depressive symptoms occurring during some parts of the year, specifically winter, can be the result of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD tends to worsen during times of the year when daylight is shorter, and lessens in intensity during the warmer months. Fatigue, social withdrawal, and mood swings are common SAD symptoms.
SAD treatment is often included in Kaiser health insurance coverage. This includes depression therapy, medication management, light therapy, and depression prevention education.
Bipolar disorder is known for causing intense mood swings, including depressive episodes. These mood swings can vary in intensity and may require intensive treatment when they are severe. You may experience fatigue, irritability, and hopelessness. Depressive episodes commonly occur after a manic episode caused by bipolar disorder.
Kaiser insurance coverage typically includes coverage for bipolar depression. This often includes depression medications, therapy, and support groups for depression.
The cost of depression therapy with Kaiser insurance is generally more affordable than paying out-of-pocket. Without insurance coverage, residential treatment can cost between $500 and $2,000 per day. Traditional outpatient therapy often falls between $100 and $200 per session, with group therapy being more affordable. Specialized outpatient treatment costs fall between residential and traditional outpatient treatment.
Keep in mind that the cost of mental health treatment can fluctuate greatly. Factors that can affect treatment costs include the location of your provider, the use of specialized therapies, access to high-end amenities, and the experience of your clinical team. When you’re paying out of pocket for depression treatment, you don’t need to worry about choosing an in-network provider. This allows you to choose a provider based on available programming, cost, and other details that are important to you. Some treatment providers offer payment options to make treatment costs more manageable. This can include sliding-scale fees, payment plans, and financial assistance. Contact AMFM for personalized support regarding the average cost of depression treatment near you.
