What We Treat

Depressive disorders 

Depression is more than just grief or sadness for the victims. It is a serious mood disorder of emptiness, hopelessness, and sorrow. The victim can experience brain fog, lack of concentration, insecurity, lack of interest or connection with the surroundings, and much more. It can be long-lasting and affects your ability to function for days or weeks. Many don’t bother getting their symptoms diagnosed. 

What does depression feel like?

Psychological depression can be described as feeling trapped in an invisible fog that leaves your mind and heart exhausted. Depression-related emotions include a deep feeling of hopelessness, guilt, or worthlessness that makes you believe that even small tasks seem overwhelming for you. Your emotions are replaced by joy, motivation, and interest in what used to give you pleasure before.

It can be compared to a feeling of carrying a weight that is invisible to others, even if everything might look fine on the surface. Depression includes constant thoughts that make you believe that everything will stay this way and there is nothing that will change it. It may also include constant self-criticism and shame.

Depression may be expressed physically by feeling tired all the time, having sleep disturbances, or any kind of pain and discomfort.
