At our treatment centre for depression we offer a spectrum of clinical care options tailored to each individual's needs. The treatment plan is strictly focused on medical and psychological interventions to achieve clinical stability and long-term symptom management.
Psychiatrists are at the core of depression treatment. Your journey begins with a comprehensive psychiatric consultation for diagnosis. Following this, the psychiatrist designs a personalised treatment plan, which may include medication, therapy, or both. They conduct ongoing medical reviews to monitor your progress, assess the effectiveness of treatment, and make any necessary adjustments to your care plan to ensure the best possible outcome.
For moderate to severe depression, medication is often a crucial component of treatment. Medication management for depression is overseen by our psychiatrists. Antidepressants work by balancing neurotransmitters in the brain that affect mood and emotions.
Therapy is a powerful tool for managing depression. It is often used in combination with medication to provide comprehensive care. Our therapists specialise in evidence-based treatments that focus on symptom management and building coping skills, including:

Voices of recovery
Depression is such a difficult situation to face. My family was so supportive through my recovery journey. But, I must give special credit to the team at Cadabams, who took such good care of me at their rehabilitation centre. Thank you for helping me return to my life.
— James Verghese
My daughter was suffering from Depression. She had tried to hurt herself as well. The entire family was scared. The staff and doctors at Cadabams were so understanding. They really seemed to care about our daughter, and we felt a little peaceful after she began rehab at Cadabams. She is slowly but surely making significant recovery and we couldn't be happier.
— Bharat Bhargav
I never thought depression could happen to me. I always thought of myself as a happy person. But, slowly I started noticing the changes. I was no longer finding joy in life and most of my time would be spent having really dark thoughts. It got so bad that I had to choose rehabilitation. Rehabilitation at Cadabams was so effective. It helped me recover and gave me the confidence that I could fight the dark thoughts if they ever returned. Thank you so much Cadabams!
