Specializes in Psychiatry

Depression: When someone is depressed, he may not be motivated to engage with the outside world or to help himself. Sometimes he may even need encouragement to get out of bed and do the basic tasks of daily living. You can help by encouraging him to get treatment for his depression in the form of talk therapy and medications if needed. Psychiatrists and psychologists can help with this!
