Understanding Depression and How Counselling Can Help

Mental Health Counselling April 15, 2026 English

Depression is not a sign of weakness. It is a medical condition — a mood disorder characterised by persistent sadness, loss of interest, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and sometimes thoughts of self-harm. Depression affects people of all ages and backgrounds.

Signs You May Be Experiencing Depression

  • Persistent low mood for more than two weeks
  • Loss of pleasure in activities you once enjoyed
  • Changes in appetite or sleep patterns
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  • Feeling worthless or excessively guilty
  • Withdrawing from family and friends

How Counselling Helps

At Care to Cure, our psychological counselling for depression combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and psychoeducation to help patients understand and change negative thought patterns. Dr. Mariappan provides a safe, non-judgmental space where patients feel heard and supported.

Counselling helps you identify the root causes of depression, develop coping strategies, rebuild relationships, and rediscover purpose and joy in life.
