Understanding Depression

More Than Just Feeling Sad

Depression is a common yet serious mental health condition that affects how you feel, think, and function in daily life. It goes beyond temporary sadness or a rough patch—it’s a persistent feeling of emptiness, hopelessness, and lack of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can interfere with work, relationships, sleep, appetite, and overall well-being.

At Dr. Pradnya Kasar Jain’s clinic, we understand that depression looks different for everyone. Some people may feel constantly low or tearful, while others may experience irritability, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, or unexplained physical symptoms. Left untreated, depression can worsen and affect every area of life—but with timely support, it is treatable.

Common symptoms of depression include:

  • Persistent sadness or low mood

  • Loss of interest or pleasure in activities

  • Fatigue or low energy

  • Changes in appetite or sleep

  • Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness

  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

  • Thoughts of self-harm or suicide

Depression can be triggered by life events like trauma, loss, stress, or major transitions. However, it can also arise without any clear cause due to genetic, biological, or psychological factors.

Dr. Pradnya Kasar Jain offers a comprehensive and compassionate approach to diagnosing and treating depression. Treatment may include a combination of psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, and medication—customized to each person’s needs. Therapy helps patients explore underlying issues, reframe negative thinking patterns, and develop healthy coping strategies.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, numb, or not like yourself, know that you’re not alone—and help is available. Seeking support is a courageous and essential first step toward healing.
