Depression in adults is a significant mental health condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. It can impact various aspects of life, including work, relationships, and overall quality of life. Symptoms of adult depression often include:

• Persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness

• Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed

• Changes in appetite and sleep patterns

• Fatigue and decreased energy levels

• Difficulty concentrating and making decisions

• Thoughts of hopelessness or self-harm

At Renatus Clinic, we offer a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating adult depression.

Our process begins with a thorough evaluation that includes detailed interviews and standardised assessments to accurately diagnose the condition.

Based on the diagnosis, we develop a personalised treatment plan that may include evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and medication management.

Our team is committed to providing ongoing support to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed, ensuring a holistic approach to managing depression.

Depression in children, while less common than in adults, is a serious condition that can affect a child's emotional and psychological development. Symptoms of childhood depression may include:

• Persistent feelings of sadness or irritability

• Withdrawal from social activities and friends

• Changes in academic performance or interest in school

• Physical complaints such as stomachaches or headaches

• Difficulty sleeping or changes in appetite

• Low self-esteem and feelings of worthlessness

Diagnosing depression in children requires a sensitive and thorough approach.

At Renatus Clinic, we conduct detailed evaluations involving interviews with parents, teachers, and the child to understand the child’s behaviour and emotional state.

We use validated assessment tools to accurately diagnose depression and differentiate it from other conditions.

Our treatment plans for children often involve a combination of therapeutic interventions, such as play therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), and support for parents to help manage and support their child’s mental health.

Medication may be considered if necessary, with careful monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness.
