Who should seek help from us ?

People seek psychiatric help for many reasons. The problems can be sudden, such as a panic attack, frightening hallucinations, thoughts of suicide, loss of control or hearing "voices." Or they may be more long-term, such as feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiousness that never seem to lift or problems functioning, causing everyday life to feel distorted or doomed.

How can we help ?

Psychiatrists help locate and identify the central diagnosis or an issue the person may be having. They order or perform a full range of medical laboratory and psychological tests which, combined with discussions with patients, help provide a picture of a patient's physical and mental state. Their education and clinical training equip them to understand the complex relationship between emotional and other medical illnesses and the relationships with genetics and family history, to evaluate medical and psychological data, to make a diagnosis, and to work with patients to develop treatment plans.

Specific diagnoses are based on criteria established in APA's Diagnostic Manual or the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) , which contains descriptions, symptoms and other criteria for diagnosing mental disorders.

Psychiatrists use a variety of modalities (inpatient, outpatient, community care) & treatments – including various forms of talk based counseling or psychotherapy, medications, psychosocial interventions, family counseling and other treatments.
