Depression: Persistent Sadness & Loss of Interest in Life

Depression is more than just feeling sad. Everyone feels upset or unmotivated from time to time, but depression is more serious. It is a mood disorder characterized by prolonged feelings of sadness and loss of interest in daily activities. If these symptoms persist for a period of at least two weeks, it is considered a depressive episode.

Depression that word we throw around so easily now a day. But as anyone with depression knows, it’s much more than any one word can describe.


Depression can be normal, and is only an indicator of underlying disease when feelings become excessive, all-consuming, and interfere with daily living.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, or someone you love is in danger, we strongly suggest that you reach out to a qualified mental health professional.

There is no shame in taking medication to manage your depression. People routinely take medication for physical ailments, and having a mental illness isn’t any different. If you’re worried about the possible side effects, call your doctor to discuss them. Any medication can be tapered down or ceased, and there are different types available to suit your individual needs and chemistry.

Therapy from a clinical psychologist or certified psychotherapist can work wonders.

Individuals who are suffering with psychological disorders or the family who are supporting them may sometimes have thoughts how psychotherapy or cognitive behaviour therapy change the brain and how far the significant and evident results in such cases...... The recent advances in neuro-imaging techniques have helped to increase the understanding of the neuronal correlates of mental disorders. Psychological interventions can promote changes in the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours of patients. Can we then say that the psychological treatment promotes brain changes? Unfortunately, the biological mechanisms related to psychotherapy are little known. On the other hand, the arrival of neuro-imaging techniques makes it possible to investigate the neurobiological consequences of psychological treatment. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) proposes to treat various mental disorders. The literature has reported that CBT has treatment models with high efficacy rates.
