Depression is a recognised medical condition - not a character flaw or weakness. Recovery is possible with appropriate support. If you are experiencing thoughts of suicide or self-harm, please do not wait for an appointment. Contact emergency services, a crisis helpline, or come directly to Hunjan Hospital's emergency department.
Recognising Depression and Seeking Help
Depression can present differently in different people. It is important not to dismiss persistent low mood or changes in functioning as simply "going through a rough patch." You should consider speaking to our team if you regularly experience:
- Persistent low mood, sadness, or emptiness lasting more than two weeks
- Loss of interest in activities you previously enjoyed
- Significant changes in sleep - sleeping too much or too little
- Fatigue or loss of energy most days
- Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Changes in appetite or unexplained weight changes
- Thoughts that life is not worth living
Our Approach to Depression Treatment
Dr. Tarlochan Singh begins with a thorough clinical interview and, where appropriate, standardised rating scales to understand the nature and impact of your depression. Treatment is never one-size-fits-all. For mild to moderate depression, structured psychological therapy - particularly cognitive-behavioural therapy - has a strong evidence base. Behavioural activation, interpersonal therapy elements, and mindfulness-based approaches may also be incorporated.
For moderate to severe depression, coordinated care involving a psychiatrist for medication evaluation may be recommended alongside psychological support. Hunjan Hospital's integrated setting makes this collaboration straightforward, ensuring you receive joined-up care without being passed between unconnected providers.
