Understanding depression:
Depression is a medical condition, not a personal weakness, and typically needs specialist treatment rather than willpower alone. Common signs include persistent low mood lasting more than two weeks, loss of interest in activities once enjoyed, changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, and low energy. A psychiatrist can distinguish depression from normal sadness or stress, and offer treatment options that a general physician or counsellor typically cannot, including medication management.
How Dr. Gulati treats depression:
Dr. Gulati's approach combines clinical assessment, medication management where appropriate, and monitoring of related conditions such as anxiety and sleep disturbance, which frequently occur alongside depression. His broader experience in mood disorders, sleep disorders, and substance use disorders is relevant here, as these conditions often overlap with depression and can affect diagnosis and treatment choices.
Who this is for:
Relevant if you are searching for a psychiatrist for depression in Chandigarh, a doctor for persistent low mood or loss of interest in daily life, medication management for depression, or a second opinion on an existing diagnosis.
