Understanding Depression: Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

Understanding Depression: Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

Depression is more than just feeling sad or low for a few days — it’s a serious mental health condition that affects how you think, feel, and function daily. Recognizing the early signs is the first step toward recovery.

Common Signs of Depression:

  • Persistent sadness or hopelessness

  • Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed

  • Fatigue or low energy

  • Sleep disturbances or appetite changes

  • Difficulty concentrating

  • Thoughts of self-harm or worthlessness

If these symptoms last for more than two weeks, it’s time to seek professional help.
At Mahatma Mind Care Hospital, our psychiatrists and psychologists provide evidence-based treatments including counselling, medication, and holistic therapies such as yoga and lifestyle guidance.

Remember: Depression is treatable. With the right support, recovery is possible, and a fulfilling life can begin again.
