Suffering from depression
Hello sir,
I am Hari, I think my father may be suffering from depression. In the last few years there was severe stress in our business. My father is a worrier by nature. I think this has taken a severe toll on his mental health. He feels tired and sleepy all the time. Has lost interest in regular activities, does not eat well, lost interest to exercise also. Frequently mixes things up. He was a vibrant person before. It is very difficult for us to see him like this. We feel that he might hold some stigma for phychatric treatment, and this is holding us back from suggesting any treatment.
But is high time we did something about it. Please help.

I understand your concern. Your father seems to be suffering from significant depressive symptoms. However it is easily manageable with appropriate treatment so that dysfunction due to the same can be reduced and his quality of life will improve. Some counselling sessions along with medical help might be needed for him. I would also be more than happy to help you with that if you are looking for further online assistance. I am from coimbatore too. You can directly consult with me through Practo as needed. Online chat consultation is available.
