What is depression?

Depression is a medical condition, not a mood or a sign of weakness. It changes how you think, sleep, eat and function day to day, and it does not lift just because you want it to. Left untreated it tends to get worse, but with the right care most people recover.

At his depression clinic in Lajpat Nagar, Dr. Kumar treats the full spectrum, from mild depression that has quietly worn you down over months to severe cases. Major depression treatment in Delhi needs an accurate diagnosis first, and that is always where he begins.

Common symptoms of depression

01
Persistent low mood lasting more than two weeks
02
Loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy
03
Fatigue and low energy, even after rest
04
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
05
Changes in sleep or appetite
06
Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
07
Thoughts of self-harm or that life is not worth living
If you recognise several of these, especially the last one, it is worth seeing a depression specialist in Delhi sooner rather than later.

How Dr. Satish Kumar treats depression

Treatment depends on the type and severity of your depression. There is no single approach that works for everyone, which is why Dr. Kumar builds each plan around the individual after a full assessment.

For many patients, depression treatment in Delhi combines psychiatric medication with counselling. Medication helps correct the underlying chemistry, while counselling helps you understand the patterns keeping you stuck.

For milder cases, depression counselling in Delhi may be enough on its own, and Dr. Kumar recommends medication only when it is clinically needed.
