In order to be qualified as a psychologist and be able to treat patients for depression, one must usually obtain a Ph D in psychology and pass obligatory exams to obtain his or her license to be a clinical psychologist. However, laws may differ in different countries and within one country (different provinces, states, etc.) . As such, requirements may vary.

What kind of mental health issue can exercise help with?

Exercise is generally recommended for people with mild to moderate depression as a way to help alleviate the symptoms. Exercising releases endorphins, which are natural mood-elevators in the body, so this can help counteract some of the depression. However, exercise by itself is not likely to completely cure the depression.


How do you help someone with depression?

If someone you know has a bad case of depression, they need help. If they cut themselves, its even more serious. People with depression sometimes cut themselves in attempt to feel something besides emotional pain. Somebody with depression might write morbid poetry, lock themselves up in their rooms often, cry often, and keep their heads down and always act sad. People with any kind of disorder or depression tend to overlook people reaching out to help them. It is especially essential that all friends and family reach out to help them. Group therapy works best for children with depression. Children will be able to see and talk with other kids that look perfectly normal but are going through the same thing they are.

There are many resources for people suffering from depression.
