Psychiatry & Mental Health

Sleep that won't come, worry that won't stop, a sadness that has overstayed — these are medical problems, and they respond to treatment. Our psychiatry OPD offers private, unhurried consultations, sensible medication when it helps, and follow-up that doesn't let you drift.

नींद न आना, बेवजह घबराहट, मन का लगातार भारी रहना — ये बीमारियाँ हैं, और इनका इलाज होता है। हमारी ओपीडी में बात पूरी निजता से, बिना जल्दबाज़ी के होती है। ज़रूरत हो तो दवा, और नियमित फॉलो-अप।

350+ consultations this year — quiet proof that asking for help works, and that Indirapuram is asking.

Animated guides

Anxiety and depression, explained

Each animation shows what is happening in the body and what helps. They explain; they don't replace a doctor's visit — if you are worried, book an OPD visit, or come to our emergency, open 24x7.

How can I calm a panic attack?

A panic attack is a surge of the body's alarm system — racing heart, breathlessness, shaking, a sense of doom — that peaks within about 10 minutes and then passes. Slow breathing with a longer out-breath, in for 4 and out for 6, tells the body to stand down. Attacks that keep coming back, or constant fear of the next one, are very treatable. Chest pain for the first time, especially over 40, should be checked in an emergency first.

How we help: Our psychiatrist treats panic and anxiety with consultation, practical techniques and, when needed, medicines, in a confidential OPD with regular follow-up.

Animation: a two-week calendar of mood faces; first a few low days scattered among good ones (sadness), then almost every day low for fourteen days (depression).

How do I know if it is sadness or depression?

Sadness lifts with time and good news. Depression is low mood or loss of interest on most days for two weeks or more, with changes such as poor sleep, low energy, poor appetite, guilt, trouble concentrating or thoughts of death. It is a medical condition, not weakness, and it responds to treatment. If you have thoughts of ending your life, seek help today — come to our emergency or call the Tele-MANAS helpline, 14416.

How we help: Our psychiatrist assesses depression confidentially, checks thyroid, B12 and other blood work that can mimic it, and treats it with regular follow-up.

Common questions

Is the psychiatry consultation confidential?

Completely. You see the psychiatrist alone in a closed room, records are held like any other medical record, and nothing is shared with employers or family without your consent. Walking in is the hard part; the rest is ordinary medicine.

Will I have to take medicines for life?

Usually not. Most anxiety, depression and sleep problems are treated for a defined period with regular reviews, then tapered. Some long-term conditions do need ongoing medication — the psychiatrist tells you honestly which yours is.

Can I bring an elderly parent with memory problems?

Yes. Memory and behaviour changes in the elderly are assessed jointly with the physicians — blood tests for thyroid and B12 and, where needed, a CT scan of the head, all on campus — before any diagnosis is made.
