Depression Counselling
DEPRESSION COUNSELLING
Depression is the world’s biggest silent killer. At least 300 million people around the world are depressed. Compounding the issue is the fact that this disease is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Depressed people can be accused of being lazy, unambitious or irresponsible. Even today, depression is so stigmatized that people feel ashamed to seek help.
But if the depressed person reaches out for help in time, a miraculous turnaround can be achieved by expert mental health professionals. We are keen to help.
