Depression Treatment

Depression or Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is one of the commonest of all mental illnesses. We have seen Women and middle aged adults look for depression treatment in Vashi & Navi Mumbai. Nonetheless, any individual irrespective of gender, age, race, religion, socio-economic status, may suffer from it. There is also a higher chance of suffering if a family member has also been suffering from it (positive family history).

Depression Treatment at Manovikas Clinic:

At Manovikas Clinic, Dr Vikas Deshmukh and his team believe in a combination of therapies for depression treatment. However, in most cases, it is best to start the biological treatments first, followed by psychotherapy. Most patients respond to psychotherapy well, once they have shown good response and improvement with medication. Typically, in the first episode of an uncomplicated depressive illness, we continue the anti-depressant therapy for about 6 months once patient achieves full response to treatment.

We also recommend, a healthy diet, adequate sleep, quitting addictive substances, relaxation exercises, yoga, meditation and other healthy lifestyle changes to maintain the response of the therapies even after the patient goes off medications.

Life after treatment:

Patients from a various backgrounds have been helped with treatment and can return back fully functional, occupationally and socially. We recommend treatment as soon as possible to avoid losing valuable time of one’s life to this illness, which can be managed quite well. We also recommend regular treatment and follow-up with your therapist.
