Depression Rehabilitation Centre in Ibiza
What is depression?
Depression is a complex mental health condition, characterised by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness and lack of interest or pleasure in daily activities.
Where these feelings can occur naturally over a person’s life, depression is more than just “having an off day.” When these feelings get more frequent and overwhelming, they can severely impact your well-being.
Symptoms range from relatively minor to severe. It can hit indiscriminately and has a negative influence in all areas of a sufferer’s life: work, relationships, and physical wellbeing. Recognising the signs and symptoms of depression is essential for early intervention and treatment.

It’s important to note that individuals may experience depression differently, and not everyone will exhibit all these symptoms.
If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, seeking professional help is a crucial step toward recovery. Remember, you are not alone, and effective treatment is available.
Residential treatment for depression.
Depression is a common but serious mental health condition that requires prompt attention and appropriate treatment. By recognising the signs and symptoms of depression and seeking professional help, individuals can take proactive steps towards recovery and regain control of their lives.
Depression is a treatable condition, and several approaches can help individuals manage their symptoms effectively. Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy; medication – antidepressant medicines; and support groups. In some instances, residential rehab treatment, may be the best option.
Ibiza Calm is a specialised mental health treatment clinic that provides a structured and supportive environment where individuals struggling with a depressive disorder, can receive intensive therapy and medical supervision, as well as peer support, reducing the sense of isolation and loneliness.
The clinic offers a comprehensive approach to recovery. The Ibiza Calm team comprises experienced healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and therapists, who work together to provide the highest level of care and support to each patient.
TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) is a non-invasive form of brain stimulation therapy that has proved effective in the treatment of several neurological and mental health conditions. TMS is now used to detect and treat various forms of depression, including major depressive disorder, bipolar, and post-partum depression. It has also proven particularly effective in the treatment of medically resistant depression.
Key components of residential treatment at Ibiza Calm include:
Comprehensive assessment: Upon admission, individuals undergo a thorough assessment to understand the severity of their depression, co-occurring disorders, and specific needs. This helps in creating a personalised treatment plan.
Individualised treatment plans: Each person’s experience with depression is unique, so treatment plans are tailored to address specific symptoms and challenges. This personalised approach enhances the effectiveness of therapy.
Intensive one-to-one therapy: Residential treatment involves various therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), to help individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours; dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), which focuses on developing skills to manage emotions; and interpersonal therapy (IPT): which addresses issues in personal relationships that may contribute to depression.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS): TMS is a form of neuromodulation. A non-invasive, non-convulsive method of brain stimulation therapy that has proved effective in the treatment of neurological and mental health conditions such as depression. Studies have found that TMS is particularly effective for treatment-resistant major depressive disorder.
Mindfulness techniques and holistic approaches: We teach and encourage practices such as mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and deep breathing to promote relaxation and reduce stress. We incorporate holistic methods such as art therapy, music therapy, physical exercise and nutrition guidance, to address the mind-body connection and promote overall well-being.
Medical management: For many, medication is a crucial part of depression treatment. Our residential treatment centre gives you access to the best health care, including psychiatrists who can prescribe and monitor medications to ensure they are effective and well-tolerated.
Supportive community: Being surrounded by peers who understand and share similar struggles creates a sense of belonging and support. Group therapy sessions provide opportunities to learn from others, share experiences, and build social skills.
Family therapy: This means involving family members in the treatment process to improve communication and provide support. All our treatment programmes include a family support group. Any family members can attend, weekly online, from the moment their loved one enters the treatment clinic.
Aftercare planning: Successful residential treatment includes preparing for life after discharge. This involves developing coping strategies and relapse prevention plans, as well as access to support groups. Clients are introduced to the aftercare therapy group before leaving treatment, ensuring they are confident of ongoing, continued support.
There are many different types of depression, some of the most common include:
→ Major depressive disorder (MDD): This is the most common form of depression, characterised by persistent low mood and loss of interest or pleasure in activities.
→ Persistent depressive disorder also known as dysthymia: Dysthymia involves chronic, long-term depression lasting for two years or more. Symptoms may be less severe than MDD but still interfere with daily functioning.
→ Bipolar disorder: Formerly known as manic-depressive illness, bipolar disorder involves cycling between periods of extreme highs (mania) and lows (depression).
→ Seasonal affective disorder (SAD): SAD is a type of depression that occurs seasonally, typically during the winter months when there is less sunlight.
→ Postpartum depression: Experienced by some women after giving birth, postpartum depression involves intense feelings of sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion.
