View profileDepression is one of the most common mental health disorders faced by people around the world. It can affect anyone at any point of time in their lives. Its onset can be gradual or it can come upon suddenly as well.
Unlike popular references, this is not a term bandied about to signify only a depressed mood or basic loss of interest or pleasure. It is a diagnosable disorder with serious consequences like suicidal thoughts. It is the leading cause of disability worldwide according to the WHO, but it can be cured.

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!
