FAQ’s

Unlike physical fitness, where we take care of our bodies by exercising or eating healthy, mental fitness means maintaining a state of emotional well-being which includes taking care of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Mental fitness helps us perform our daily activities effectively, manage stressful situations in a healthier way, build social relationships, improve productivity and focus while uplifting our overall well-being.

Just like we exercise regularly to keep our bodies fit, we can indulge in various practices to improve our mental fitness. Engaging in positive self-talk, having a healthy sleep routine, being aware of your emotions and building healthy ways of dealing with them, journaling, and practicing mindfulness are some of the ways to build mental fitness.

Mindfulness is a practice of paying attention to the present moment (i.e., what is happening right here, right now), on purpose and with an attitude of non-judgment. Often, we are worrying about the future or ruminating about the past, mindfulness allows us to embrace the present with kindness and curiosity.

During counselling, the therapist or the counsellor provides a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space to the client that enables the latter to discuss and explore their concerns openly. The individual needs of the client are taken care of in the session. The therapist or the counsellor works on the issues in association with the client using research-based intervention.

Counselling is for everyone who wants to work on their mental health and well-being. Individuals of all ages, sexual orientations, and from all walks of life can seek counseling by reaching out to a trained psychologist, clinical psychologist, or psychiatrist to overcome their concerns.

Psychiatry is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental, emotional, and behavioural disorders. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medications,suggest therapy, and provide guidance on lifestyle changes to support mental health.
You should consider seeing a psychiatrist if you or a loved one is experiencing persistent emotional distress, significant changes in mood, behavior, or thought patterns that interfere with daily life. Some common signs include:
  • Prolonged sadness of mood or anxiety that doesn’t improve with time.
  • Sudden or intense mood swings, irritability, or aggressive behavior.
  • Difficulty functioning at work, school, or in social settings due to emotional issues.
  • Trouble concentrating, making decisions, or remembering things.
  • Sleep disturbances, including insomnia or sleeping too much, without an apparent medical cause.
  • Suicidal thoughts or self-harm.
  • Psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations, delusions, or paranoia.
  • Struggles with substance use or addiction that impact your health or relationships.
  • Behavioral problems in children or adolescents.
If these symptoms persist for weeks or months, or worsen over time, a psychiatrist can evaluate your condition, make a diagnosis, and create a treatment plan to help manage your mental health.
During a psychiatric evaluation, the psychiatrist will ask about your medical and mental health history, assess your symptoms, lifestyle, and any previous treatments. They may suggest psychological assessments if required. The goal is to gather enough information to make a diagnosis and create a personalized treatment plan.
Not necessarily. While psychiatrists can prescribe medication, they may also recommend therapy, lifestyle changes, or other non-medication treatments. Medications are prescribed only if needed, and your psychiatrist will monitor your progress closely.
No. While medication is a key tool for many psychiatric conditions, psychiatrists are trained in other therapeutic techniques and may recommend psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), or other interventions. Medication is just one aspect of a holistic treatment plan.

Most psychiatric medications, such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers, are not addictive. These medications are designed to help balance brain chemistry and are typically safe when taken as prescribed. However, certain medications, like some anti-anxiety drugs (benzodiazepines) or stimulants used for ADHD, do carry a risk of dependence if misused or taken for long periods without proper medical supervision.

Always follow your doctor’s instructions and ask questions if you have concerns about your medication.

The duration of medication use varies from person to person and depends on the condition being treated. For some individuals, psychiatric medications may be needed only for a few months, while others with chronic conditions may need medications long-term.

Your psychiatrist will regularly evaluate your progress and determine when, or if, it's appropriate to reduce or stop the medication. Some medications may require gradual tapering to avoid withdrawal symptoms. The goal is to find a treatment plan that allows you to function well with the lowest effective dose for the appropriate length of time.

The length of treatment varies based on the individual and the condition being treated. Some people may need short-term care, while others with chronic conditions like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or severe depression may require long-term treatment and monitoring.

Psychiatrists provide a variety of treatments including:

  • Medication management: Prescribing medications when required.
  • Psychotherapy: Talk therapy, either one-on-one or in groups.
  • Lifestyle guidance: Helping with stress management, sleep hygiene, and healthy habits.
  • Referral services: Connecting patients to other specialists or support services as needed.
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to:
  • Depression: Persistent feelings of sadness, decreased energy levels, and loss of interest in activities.
  • Anxiety disorders: Including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and phobias.
  • Bipolar disorder: Characterized by episodes of depression and mania.
  • Schizophrenia: A mental disorder that affects thinking, behavior, and perception, often involving hallucinations or delusions.
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions).
  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): A condition affecting focus, impulse control, and organizational skills, commonly seen in both children and adults.
