People with clinical depression have the Beck’s triad: negative views about the world, self & the future.
If you have been experiencing some of the following signs and symptoms most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks, you may be suffering from depression:
While the diagnosis is clinical, brain imaging, electrophysiology, blood tests to rule out reversible causes or indeed contributing factors and a thorough pre-rehabilitation assessment including evaluation for co-morbidities (associated conditions) will be required in all instances. At Buddhi Clinic our assessment includes standard outcome indicators for activities of daily life, quality of life, neuro-disability and mental health.
We look beyond the symptom at the syndrome; beyond the syndrome and diagnosis at the person. Depression is a common condition; each sufferer is however, unique, and that is our focus. At Buddhi Clinic we focus on sub-typing depression, identifying underlying biological, psychological & social factors.We build comprehensive psychometric profiles of our clients and plan interventions that target not just the symptoms, but also the causative factors & co-morbidities.
