Depression

Overview

Depression is more than just feeling sad — it’s a persistent state of low mood, loss of interest, and lack of energy that affects daily functioning. According to ICD-11, depressive disorders range from mild to severe, often including sleep changes, hopelessness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. At NICE SKYMED, we offer compassionate counselling, guided self-help, and therapy based on WHO-recommended approaches like CBT and supportive psychotherapy, helping individuals rebuild motivation and emotional balance.

Prevalence

WHO estimates that 1 in 20 adults globally suffer from depression. Around 6.7% of adults experience depressive symptoms, with higher rates among women and youth. Social stigma and limited mental health infrastructure mean that over 70% of people with depression remain untreated.
