Depression

Depression is more than just feeling sad or low; it’s a serious mental health condition that can affect every aspect of life, including work, relationships, and physical health.

Depression in India: Key Statistics

• According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 56 million Indians suffer from depression.
• A 2017 National Mental Health Survey found that 1 in 20 Indians is affected by depression.

Symptoms of Depression

• Persistent sadness, anxiety, or an “empty” feeling
• Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed
• Changes in appetite or weight
• Sleep disturbances, such as insomnia or sleeping too much
• Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
• Fatigue or loss of energy
• Feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or helplessness
• Thoughts of death or suicide

If these symptoms sound familiar, it’s important to seek help. Depression is treatable, and early intervention can prevent it from worsening.

Our Comprehensive Approach for Depression Treatment

At our clinic in Jalandhar, We provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment for depression tailored to each individual’s unique needs. Our goal is to help you understand and manage your depression, leading to lasting recovery. Here's what our approach involves:

• In-Depth Psychiatric Assessment: A thorough evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle is conducted to understand the underlying factors contributing to your depression.


• Psychotherapy (Talk Therapy): Psychotherapy, especially Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), is one of the most effective treatments for depression. CBT helps patients identify negative thought patterns and behaviors and replace them with healthier, more positive ones. I also offer other forms of therapy, such as Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) and Mindfulness-Based Therapy, depending on your specific needs.


• Treatment for Underlying Mental Health Conditions: Sleep disorders often co-exist with conditions such as depression, anxiety, and stress. Addressing these mental health issues is crucial to improving sleep patterns and overall well-being.


• Medication Management: In some cases, antidepressant medication may be necessary to regulate mood and alleviate symptoms. I carefully prescribe and monitor medications to ensure they are effective and free from unwanted side effects.


• Lifestyle Modifications and Stress Management: Depression is often linked to lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, and high stress levels. I provide guidance on making positive lifestyle changes to support mental health, including exercise, proper nutrition, and relaxation techniques.
