Frequently Asked Questions – Psychiatry
Yes. All psychiatric consultations at Iswarya Hospital are strictly confidential under the Mental Healthcare Act 2017. Information shared with your psychiatrist is not disclosed to family members or employers without your explicit consent, except in defined emergency situations.
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MBBS + MD Psychiatry) who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. A clinical psychologist holds a Master's or PhD in psychology and specialises in psychological testing and psychotherapy (talk therapy), but cannot prescribe medications. Both work together at Iswarya Hospital.
Depression is a medical condition — not a weakness or a character flaw. It involves changes in brain chemistry, neural circuits, and hormonal regulation. Treatment usually combines antidepressant medication with psychotherapy (CBT or IPT). Many people recover fully with proper treatment. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Yes. Our Psychiatry department offers de-addiction services for alcohol, tobacco, and drug dependence including medically supervised detoxification, motivational counselling, relapse prevention therapy, and long-term follow-up support. We also treat co-occurring mental health conditions that commonly accompany addiction.
Our Child & Adolescent Psychiatry services are available for children from age 3 upwards. We assess and treat ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, learning difficulties, childhood anxiety, depression, conduct disorders, and adolescent mental health challenges in a child-friendly, family-centred environment.
