Depression

Depression is a mood disorder that affects how individuals think, feel, and function in their daily lives. Symptoms include persistent sadness, fatigue, loss of interest in activities, and difficulty concentrating. Dr. Bharat Rastogi approaches depression from a neurological perspective, recognizing that it can be caused by or exacerbate other neurological conditions. Diagnosis is based on patient history, clinical interviews, and ruling out other underlying conditions.

Treatment options include antidepressant medications, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes like improving sleep habits and increasing physical activity. Early intervention and a holistic treatment plan can help individuals manage depression effectively, restore mental clarity, and improve overall well-being.
