What Is Depression?
Depression is more than sadness.
It’s a persistent, heavy emotional state that affects how you think, feel, relate, and function. It can feel like a fog, a numbness, or a deep sense of disconnection — and no amount of “just be positive” can pull you out of it.
At Live Again India, we understand depression as a real, treatable condition — not a flaw in personality or willpower.
Therapy helps you remember who you are beneath the weight.
🔍 Symptoms of Depression
-
Loss of interest in things once enjoyed
-
Persistent sadness, emptiness, or emotional numbness
-
Changes in appetite or sleep patterns
-
Fatigue, low motivation, or mental fog
-
Feelings of guilt, hopelessness, or worthlessness
-
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
-
Withdrawing from people and activities
-
Thoughts of death or suicide
Depression can show up differently in everyone — some people cry, some feel nothing, some keep functioning with an invisible weight inside.
💡 Why Therapy for Depression?
While medication can help with symptoms, therapy helps you understand and change the patterns beneath the surface — the thoughts, memories, beliefs, and emotions that keep the cycle alive.
Therapy is where you:
-
Feel heard without judgment
-
Learn how to challenge negative self-talk
-
Explore root causes (trauma, stress, loss, identity)
-
Rebuild motivation, confidence, and relationships
-
Create space for healing at your own pace
