Schizophrenia (psychosis)

Schizophrenia, characterized by psychosis, involves auditory hallucinations (hearing voices), visual disturbances (seeing shadows), and paranoid beliefs (government surveillance). Disorganized thought and self-conversations are common. Treatment integrates antipsychotic medications, therapy, and support to manage symptoms and improve functioning.

Minor/mild Depression (Persistent depressive disorder)

Minor or mild depression, also known as Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD), involves persistent low mood and diminished interest or pleasure in activities. Symptoms are milder than major depression but last longer, typically for at least two years. It can impact daily life and may require therapy and lifestyle changes for management.

Postpartum Depression

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a type of clinical depression that affects parents after childbirth. It involves intense sadness, fatigue, and may include changes in sleep, appetite, and bonding with the baby. PPD can hinder self-care and parenting. Support and therapy are crucial for managing PPD's emotional and physical impact.
