Manas Clinic, Patna | Dr. Rakesh Kumar Singh | Neuro-Psychiatrist & Sexologist

Depression is a serious mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is far more than just feeling sad — it is a persistent low mood that interferes with daily life, work, relationships and physical health.

Common Symptoms

Persistent sadness, emptiness or hopelessness
Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
Fatigue and low energy even after rest
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Changes in appetite or weight
Sleep disturbances — insomnia or sleeping too much
Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt

Causes of Depression

Depression results from a combination of genetic, biological, psychological and environmental factors. A family history of depression, major life events, chronic stress and certain medical conditions can all contribute.

Treatment

Depression is highly treatable. At Manas Clinic, Dr. Singh uses evidence-based approaches including medication (antidepressants), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), lifestyle counselling and, where needed, structured psychotherapy programmes. Most patients see significant improvement within 4–8 weeks of starting treatment.

If you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms of depression, do not wait — early treatment leads to faster and more complete recovery.
