Our team of the psychiatrists in Gurgaon offers all these three qualities of a great psychiatrist.
After the Covid-19 pandemic, experts believe that the next pandemic would be depression, anxiety and other
mental health disorders. Unfortunately, India has one of the highest incidences of mental health disorders
in the world. Currently, about 56 million adults suffer from depression and around 38 million suffer from anxiety.
But, only a fraction of these actually seek treatment.
The primary reason for not seeking treatment is lack of awareness about mental health disorders and the dearth of
psychiatrists in Gurgaon. Here, we have collaborated with the top psychiatrists in Gurgaon to present a coherent
list of psychologists and psychiatrists who can help you overcome your mental health disorders.
Medication management:
This is primarily an outpatient care setting in which the psychiatrist conducts the initial assessment of the patient and uses medication to help the patient overcome their psychological disorder or condition.
Counselling sessions:
Psychiatrists and psychologists use counselling sessions to create awareness about the mental health disorder, build solidarity, teach the patient coping skills, and slowly help the patient transition into normal life, among others. This works best combined with medication management.
Alternative therapies:
These therapies, in conjunction with medication management and counselling sessions, encourage the patient to consistently follow a healthy and active lifestyle.
Residential treatment program:
A residential treatment program requires the patient to reside in a mental health treatment center for the duration of the treatment. During the treatment, an experienced and skilled medical team administers the determined treatment program to the patient.
