Depression is a mental health concern faced by multitudes of people in today’s day and age. Although there has been a rise in depression in younger ages, it does not discriminate between ages and genders. The onslaught of the digital age has not helped much in the case of depression. The stigma surrounding it is still well alive. However, many armies of light have risen up against this glooming power of darkness. We at Veda have been at the frontiers of this battle.
We at Veda, a luxury retreat and rehab based on principles of holistic healing, have been dedicated to help individuals along this fight so that no one is left alone. We have helped people suffering from depression and other mental health issues since our foundation in March 2021. Ever since our first retreat and rehab in Mumbai opened up, we have had nothing but chances to help the people who really need it. Because of the positive work done by our doctors and experts, we are no longer limited to Mumbai but have expanded all over India. We currently have a retreat and rehab centre in Bangalore which we inaugurated in August of 2021 and a retreat and rehab centre in Delhi as well which we inaugurated in July 2022. We have further plans of opening up centres in Pune, Hyderabad and Chandigarh.
We believe that problems like depression must be treated on a one-to-one basis. The patients must feel like they are heard and respected. If not, feelings of isolation surround them, which many a time does more harm than good. Therefore, we have created a luxury centre where we do not allow more than five clients at a time.
Our doctors and psychologists are not just one of the best in the field but extremely kind-hearted and genuine humans. They have poured out their hearts in constantly looking out for the clients. They have always been on the lookout for new techniques, how those techniques can be synthesised with the old ones, and how they can be personalised for the clients. For their efforts, they have constantly received positive feedback and gratitude from the treated clients and we can ask for nothing more. One of our senior psychologist, Mrs Shaili Mehta Sonani received this feedback from one of our clients: “The clients who traverse through Veda are fortunate to have each of you care, counsel and support them on their paths to recovery.” Our hearts swell up when we hear such beautiful words from them.
Alongside psychotherapeutic help, we at Veda believe in Holistic healing, i.e. for some issue to be completely healed, one must work on all three levels of the human system – the body, the mind and the spirit. Therefore, each of our centres has at least one Yoga and Meditation expert who personalise techniques according to the need of each client in synchronicity with the therapeutic healing already going on. We also have consultant nutritionists, Ayurvedic doctors, energy healers, spiritual guides and other healers ready for whenever we require their expertise.
We have a follow-up policy to make sure a relapse doesn’t occur. Psychologists get on a call with the clients and chat with them at regular intervals for three to six months, based on the needs of the clients. We are proud to say that we haven’t had a single relapse case for the mentioned issue yet.
Our environment has never been a grave and serious one, but rather a kind and fun one. The energies of the place are constantly freshened by not just the psychologists and experts, who are extremely entertaining to be with, but also the many recreational activities we provide like badminton courts, activity rooms for games, swimming pools, exercise rooms and gyms, and much more so that the client is constantly engaged in activities as per their temperaments. We always believe that the client is not a patient to be treated and sent home quickly, but a person who is going through a lot, who we can help with our resources and expertise.
We have also treated online clients, who were in need and couldn’t afford our services, pro bono. Our real fight has been and will always be against the rising forces of mental health issues and we have always gone above and beyond to make sure we deal with them in all the correct ways possible. That is why our clients have given us the title of the best rehab in India.
Because of the intensive care we provide for the clients, we have had a success rate of above 93%. Many clients still visit the centre, not as clients but as friends, to catch up and tell us all about what they are up to.
So if you are someone or you know someone who is going through the same issues and are looking for a way out, call us or visit your nearest centre and let us know how we can be of help.
