Depression can make even everyday tasks feel overwhelming, leaving you exhausted, disconnected, and hopeless. At Manospandana, we provide professional and compassionate depression counselling and therapy to help you understand your emotions, restore balance, and rebuild confidence.
You can choose secure online counselling sessions from anywhere in the world or in-person appointments at our centre in Bangalore. Our experienced counsellors and therapists create a safe, supportive space where you can heal at your own pace.
Depression counselling provides a safe space to talk openly about your thoughts, feelings, and challenges, helping you gain clarity and identify patterns that affect your mental health.
Depression therapy goes further by using evidence-based approaches—such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Transactional Analysis (TA), and Mindfulness—to address root causes, reshape unhelpful thought patterns, and develop coping strategies tailored to your needs.
You may find depression counselling helpful if you experience:
Persistent sadness or emptiness
Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
Changes in sleep or appetite
Fatigue or low energy
Difficulty focusing or making decisions
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or hopelessness
Withdrawing from friends or family
At Manospandana, our depression counsellors in Bangalore and online therapists provide individualized support to help you manage these symptoms and move toward recovery.
Depression comes in many forms, each with unique symptoms and treatments. Understanding these helps in choosing the right therapy:
Also known as clinical depression, MDD is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in daily activities for at least two weeks. It affects mood, behavior, and physical functions such as sleep and appetite.
Common symptoms of MDD:
Also known as dysthymia, PDD is a long-term form of depression that lasts for at least two years. While the symptoms may not be as severe as those of MDD, they are more chronic and can significantly impair daily functioning.
Key symptoms of PDD include:
Bipolar disorder, previously known as manic depression, involves extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). During the depressive phase, individuals experience symptoms similar to major depression.
Common bipolar depression symptoms include:
SAD is a type of depression that typically occurs during the winter months when sunlight is limited. The lack of sunlight can disrupt your biological clock and serotonin levels, leading to depressive symptoms.
Key signs of SAD:
PPD is a form of depression that affects women after childbirth. Hormonal changes, combined with the stress of caring for a newborn, can lead to feelings of sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion that interfere with the mother’s ability to care for herself and her baby.
PPD symptoms may include:
PMDD is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that causes extreme mood shifts, irritability, and depressive symptoms in the days leading up to menstruation. These symptoms can interfere with work, social life, and personal relationships.
Common PMDD symptoms:
Atypical depression is a subtype of major depressive disorder that involves symptoms like increased appetite, excessive sleeping, and sensitivity to rejection. Unlike other forms of depression, people with atypical depression may experience temporary mood improvements in response to positive events.
Signs of atypical depression:
Depression is treatable, and with the right strategies, you can start feeling better. The most common treatments include:
Therapy for depression: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), talk therapy, and other therapeutic approaches can help you understand and manage negative thought patterns. Manospandana offers customized therapy sessions based on your unique needs.
Medication: In some cases, antidepressants may be prescribed to balance brain chemistry. Our counselors work in tandem with medical professionals to ensure holistic care.
Lifestyle changes: Exercise, healthy eating, and mindfulness practices can complement professional treatment and significantly improve your mental well-being.
Support networks: Engaging with supportive friends, family, or peer groups can be an invaluable part of your recovery process.
