Psychiatry

The Psychiatry OPD acts as an essential component of the mental healthcare system, serving as a primary point of contact for individuals seeking mental health support. Outpatient care means that patients do not require hospitalization and can receive treatment while living at home or in the community.

Evaluation and Diagnosis:

Psychiatrists conduct in-depth clinical evaluations to assess a person's mental health condition. They may conduct interviews and review the medical history to arrive at a diagnosis. This process helps in understanding the individual's symptoms, concerns, and overall functioning.

Treatment Planning:

After diagnosis, the psychiatrist collaborates with the individual to develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan may include various interventions such as medication management, therapy, counselling, lifestyle modifications, and other supportive services.

Medication Management:

Psychiatrists are qualified medical doctors who can prescribe medication for mental health conditions. They monitor the effectiveness of prescribed medicines, adjust dosages, and manage any side effects. All our psychiatrists practice evidence based medicine in the management of each individuals’ condition. Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to evaluate progress and make necessary modifications to the treatment regimen.

Crisis Intervention:

Outpatient psychiatry services also have provisions for crisis intervention. If a person experiences a mental health crisis or needs immediate assistance, they can reach out in the emergency services.
