A potentially serious condition that can impact a car accident victim is depression. Seeking medical care is important, since left untreated it can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life.

Here are 5 tips on treating depression: 

• understand that treatment may take time, especially if it becomes necessary to try various forms before finding one that works; 
• learn how severe your depression is because that will affect the type of treatment you receive; 
• seek help from others (family, friends, support group); 
• be open to experimenting with different types of antidepressants or therapies if necessary; and 
• try other lifestyle behaviors that can help diminish depression (such as exercise). 

When a car accident was especially severe, or if it resulted in catastrophic injuries, it is not uncommon to experience depression. Along with compensation for expenses related to your accident and bodily injuries, you may also be compensated for emotional damage.
