Frequently Asked Questions About Depression Treatment in Delhi

Have questions about depression treatment, medications, or therapy? Here are answers to common questions Dr Sidharth Sood hears from patients seeking help.

What is the difference between sadness and depression? +

Sadness is a normal emotion that comes and goes in response to life events. Depression (Major Depressive Disorder) is a clinical condition lasting at least 2 weeks with persistent sadness, loss of interest, sleep/appetite changes, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Dr Sidharth Sood can differentiate these during a comprehensive evaluation.

How is depression diagnosed? +

Depression is diagnosed through a thorough psychiatric evaluation by Dr Sidharth Sood. This includes discussing your symptoms, duration, impact on daily life, medical history, and any family history of depression. Psychological assessments and, if needed, medical tests help rule out underlying physical conditions contributing to depression.

What are the treatment options for depression? +

Depression treatment typically combines antidepressant medication, psychotherapy (CBT, IPT), and lifestyle changes. For treatment-resistant depression, Dr Sidharth Sood offers advanced therapies like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Theta Burst Stimulation. Treatment is personalized based on your specific needs and circumstances.

How long does it take for antidepressants to work? +

Most antidepressants take 2-4 weeks to show initial improvement, with maximum benefit at 6-8 weeks. Some people respond faster or slower. Dr Sidharth Sood monitors your progress regularly and adjusts medication as needed. Combining medication with psychotherapy typically produces better results than either alone.

Can depression be treated without medication? +

Mild depression can sometimes be managed with psychotherapy, exercise, sleep improvements, and lifestyle changes. However, moderate to severe depression typically requires medication. Dr Sidharth Sood assesses depression severity and recommends the most effective treatment approach for your situation.

Is treatment-resistant depression treatable? +

Yes. Treatment-resistant depression (not responding to 2+ medication trials) can be effectively treated with advanced therapies including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), Theta Burst Stimulation, and other neuromodulation techniques. Dr Sidharth Sood specializes in these advanced treatment options.
