Depression

It’s normal for everyone to feel sad or upset from time-to-time, but if these feelings are intense, long-lasting or are affecting your quality of life, you might be suffering with depression. It’s important to understand that depression is an illness, not a sign of weakness, and is treatable even in the most severe of cases.

Depression causes you to experience persistent low moods. Sometimes, these can be so bad that you find that you can’t function effectively in your daily life. Other symptoms of depression may include:

• Intense feelings of sadness and hopelessness
• Losing interest in activities or hobbies you used to enjoy
• Anger, irritability and frustration
• Physical changes like disturbed sleep, disturbed appetite and low sex drive
• Difficulty concentrating, poor memory and not being motivated to do things

There are also lots of different types of depression, which can each cause different symptoms. However, whatever your symptoms and whatever type of depression you’re struggling with, it’s important to know that you’re not alone and you don’t have to suffer in silence with depression. Seeking help can be daunting but it really is the most important step you can take. With the right treatment programme, we can help you to overcome your symptoms and get back on track.

Depression is a disorder in which your mood goes beyond the normal feelings of sadness you experience as a normal part of life. This complex disorder affects your mood, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and even your physical health, causing great suffering. While people who suffer from depression share certain symptoms, depression has numerous causes, indicators, co-occurring disorders, and effects. This means each person’s experience of the illness is unique and should be treated as such. Many times, health professionals recommend a psychiatric treatment center & hospital such as Aarambh Sewa Sansthan to give you the opportunity to begin stabilizing your depression. We have therapists trained to deal with a multitude of problems who can help address whatever is causing your pain. No one should live in misery. Don’t let depression get in the way of living life to its fullest. There are effective treatments available to help you to enjoy your life once again.

Healping a Loved One

Watching someone you love suffer from depression can be very upsetting. You want to help them feel better, but are unsure of how to approach the situation. Make sure that before you engage your loved one in a conversation about their depression you take the time to learn as much as you can about the disorder. When you do speak to your loved one, be sure that you really listen to what they are saying and make it clear that their feelings are valid. Suggest that a psychiatric treatment center may be beneficial to help them to work through their emotional pain and tell them that there are trained professionals dedicated to helping them create a brighter future.

It is also important to make sure that you are taking care of your needs as well. Locate community groups in conjunction with a psychiatric hospital or elsewhere that you can go to for support or reach out to a therapist yourself. If you aren’t taking care of yourself, you won’t be any help to your loved one. The best thing you can do is be there for your family member throughout the entire process.
