Understanding Depression

Understanding Depression

Depression is more than just feeling sad or low for a few days. It's a serious mood disorder that affects how a person feels, thinks, and handles daily activities. It can lead to persistent sadness, lack of interest in everyday activities, and disruptive symptoms like fatigue, sleep disturbances, and physical discomfort.

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), often referred to simply as depression, is characterised by long-lasting feelings of hopelessness, guilt, worthlessness, and lack of motivation. Without proper care, it can significantly impair a person's ability to function and enjoy life.

Signs & Symptoms of Depression

Common signs and symptoms of depression may include:

  • Persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness
  • Loss of interest in things that once brought joy
  • Feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness
  • Suicidal thoughts or self-harming behaviours
  • Fatigue or lack of energy, even after rest
  • Sleep disturbances (insomnia or oversleeping)
  • Changes in appetite (weight loss or gain)
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

If these symptoms are interfering with your ability to function in daily life, it’s crucial to seek help from a professional.

Types of Depression We Treat

At Nityanand Rehab Centre, we treat various forms of depression, including:

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

The most common form of depression, MDD, is marked by persistent and debilitating feelings of sadness, guilt, and hopelessness.

Bipolar Depression

Depressive episodes in bipolar disorder often alternate with periods of mania or hypomania. These mood fluctuations can make the depressive phase even more intense.

Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD)

Also known as dysthymia, PDD is characterised by a chronic low mood lasting for at least two years. The symptoms are less severe but can impact daily functioning.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

SAD typically occurs during the winter months when there is less sunlight. This form of depression is related to seasonal changes and is often treated with light therapy.

Postpartum Depression

Affects new mothers after childbirth, leading to intense sadness, fatigue, and difficulty bonding with the baby. Treatment focuses on support and mental health care for new mothers.

Atypical Depression

A type of depression with unique symptoms such as weight gain, excessive sleep, and mood reactivity to positive events.

How We Treat Depression at Nityanand Rehab Centre

Our treatment approach is centred on a comprehensive and holistic recovery plan that addresses the root causes of depression, not just the symptoms. We focus on evidence-based therapies, medication management, and lifestyle changes to promote long-term healing.

  • Behavioural activation is used to encourage patients to engage in activities that improve mood

Psychotherapy

  • We provide individual therapy to address underlying emotional issues and group therapy for shared learning and support
  • Family therapy is available to help loved ones understand the patient's struggles and provide better support

Lifestyle Management

  • Exercise and physical activity are integrated into the recovery plan to boost serotonin levels and improve overall mood
  • Nutritional counselling and sleep management ensure that patients have the physical foundation to support their mental health

Holistic Therapies
