Common signs of depression in Dehradun
- Heaviness or numbness for most of the day, most days.
- Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy.
- Sleep that's too long, too short, or unrefreshing.
- Feeling like a burden, or like you're 'failing'.
- Slowed thinking, slowed body — or restless agitation.
Depression is not a character flaw
It is a state — neurochemical, behavioural and cognitive — that almost anyone can fall into given the right (wrong) combination of stress, loss, biology and time. Treating it as character locks people into shame, which deepens the state.
Why getting started feels impossible
Depression specifically dampens the brain's anticipatory reward — the very signal that normally makes you start things. CR addresses this directly with micro-activation and attention re-training, not motivational speeches.
What clinical help looks like
Dr. Sodhi's clinical pathway typically combines a structured assessment (PHQ-9, history, sleep, lifestyle), CR sessions, and — when indicated — coordination with a psychiatrist for medication.
