Depression

Depression is a mental illness, which one should not confuse with the short-term emotional distress, aor feeling low, which also are constituents of depression. Anyone can feel low for a brief period of time, or experience some level of anxiety once in a while, but that does not mean they are suffering from depression. Depression is much more severe, and is a persistent feeling of sadness, loneliness, grief, uselessness, and emotional pain. If not treated,it can lead to a person turning suicidal, and may try to harm himself/herself or commit suicide.

We approach patients with depression through various routes, including medication consultation along with therapy, to ensure treatment effectiveness. Depression is treatable, and there are many effective treatments available.
