Depression &
Mood Disorders
Expert, consultant-led care to help you manage your mood and rediscover a sense of wellbeing.
Cardinal Clinic has been treating depression and mood disorders for over 45 years. Our approach is grounded in clinical excellence and the understanding that sustainable recovery requires a sophisticated, multi-faceted response — not a one-size-fits-all solution. Every patient receives a bespoke treatment plan, developed in collaboration with their consultant psychiatrist.
Conditions We Treat
We provide specialist assessment and treatment for the full range of mood disorders, including:
Major Depressive Disorder
Persistent low mood, loss of interest, and emotional and physical problems that interfere with daily life.
Bipolar Disorder
Significant shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels — from manic highs to depressive lows.
Persistent Depressive Disorder
A form of chronic depression (dysthymia) with less severe but more enduring symptoms.
Cyclothymic Disorder
A milder form of bipolar disorder with frequent but less severe mood swings.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
A severe form of PMS with significant psychological symptoms requiring specialist support.
Treatment-Resistant Depression
For patients who have not responded to standard treatments, we offer specialist assessment and advanced therapeutic options.
Our Approach to Treatment
We combine consultant-led psychiatric care with evidence-based psychotherapy to create an integrated and effective treatment plan. Our goal is not just to alleviate symptoms, but to empower you with the understanding and tools to manage your condition in the long term.
Psychiatric Medication
Carefully managed by your consultant psychiatrist, always in consultation with you and reviewed regularly.
Individual Psychotherapy
CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy to address root causes and build long-term resilience.
Group Therapy
A safe, supportive space to share experiences, reduce isolation, and learn from others in recovery.
Lifestyle & Wellbeing
Structured guidance on nutrition, sleep hygiene, and exercise as part of a holistic recovery plan.
