Depression

Treatment for Depression in Paris

Depression in Paris has a particular irony. One of the richest human environments in the world — beauty, culture, intellectual life — and depression makes none of it available. The contrast is its own cruelty. In the expat community, depression often carries the specific shape of the gap between the Paris life imagined and the life as it is being lived.

Treatment Approach

Depression is approached through a Jungian and integrative lens — asking not only how to lift the mood but what the depression is pointing towards. Depression, in the Jungian view, is often the psyche withdrawing energy from a life that has become too defended or too far from what is genuinely meaningful. This does not romanticise suffering — medication has a role and the practice works alongside prescribing clinicians where appropriate.
