Best Psychiatrist in South Delhi

Psychiatrist in South Delhi at BetterPlace

What is a Psychiatrist?

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specialises in diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental health conditions. They are licensed medical professionals who can prescribe medicines, administer various talk therapies and employ precautionary measures to prevent a mental health problem from developing.

What does a Psychiatrist do?

Psychiatrists evaluate, diagnose, and treat psychiatric disorders. They perform a variety of tests and assessments to evaluate your mental health status, and based on that, assign a diagnosis and implement a proper treatment plan. The treatment options include medication, therapy, and behavioural interventions. Consulting a top psychiatrist in South Delhi can ensure you receive expert care tailored to your specific needs.

What are the qualifications of Psychiatrists?

A psychiatrist is a licensed medical professional. They have a medical degree, called an MBBS and then complete a specialisation in psychiatry. They undergo rigorous training during their studies, spending time honing their skills in mental health institutes, where they practise under the supervision of more experienced psychiatrists.

How are Psychiatrists and Psychologists different?

Psychiatrists and psychologists both play a crucial role in supporting an individual’s mental health journey. But the key difference is that Psychiatrists are doctors who can prescribe medication, while Psychologists and Psychotherapists cannot. However, both types of medical professionals can help diagnose a wide range of psychiatric disorders, and recommend a treatment plan. Most often, psychiatrists will recommend treatment that combines medication and various therapies, because patients using both medication and therapy are up to 70% more likely to achieve long-term remission.

Common problems you should see a Psychiatrist for

Psychiatrists can treat a range of mental health conditions, no matter how mild or severe. Psychiatrists are known for treating severe mental health disorders such as schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s, bipolar disorder, etc. However, they can also help diagnose Anxiety, Depression, and other mood disorders that often go unnoticed, but can cause huge disruptions to day-to-day life. Consulting the best psychiatrist in South Delhi can provide comprehensive care tailored to your specific needs.

Transformation Stories at BetterPlace!

Start your journey

It became easier to stay on track with treatment plan

The hardest part about getting treatment for mental health is that even when things start to get better, they don’t necessarily get easier. I find it difficult just to come for appointments. What I really appreciate is how understanding the team has always been about my struggle with these simple things. Knowing I can count on them has been a true blessing

Dilip S.

I finally got a clear understanding of what is wrong

Three other doctors had diagnosed me with ADHD in few minutes, which I always felt is very random. But Dr. Akul at BetterPlace suggested I get an assessment done first before sharing a diagnosis which made me feel more comfortable. I’m really happy doctor spent so much time with me, he is so senior and still. Test results also he explained so well

Sunita P.

I never felt judged by anyone at BetterPlace

I had put on a lot of weight. Some people said maybe it’s an eating disorder but I was too ashamed to visit a doctor because judgment is always there. But a friend told me how non-judgmental BetterPlace is, and that is really true. Doctors are very good and even if i make a mistake they don’t say anything demotivating. Treatment is going amazing and i’m more relaxed

Karan R.

I can actually see my daughter getting better

I’m a data analyst who believes in hard data. My daughter was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 13. We tried many doctors but she never clicked with any of them. She’s 20 now and I think we’ve finally found the right doctor. She seems comfortable. I am also much happier because I get regular reports and I can see how progress is happening and how my daughter is improving

Mohammad K.

It is not my fault and now I understand that

When I told my friends I have anxiety they would always say, Arrey just relax, it’s not a big deal etc. Social anxiety people say is not a real problem. I also started thinking that and blaming myself. But at BetterPlace, doctor first explained why it happens. In my brain, in my heart, i got it and i could see, Oh, this is not my fault. I even went out for dinner after a long time. I felt nice

Mary K.

Not just my dad, the patient, but we are all feeling better

Because of dad’s schizophrenia, our family was always treated differently. People in public would stare at us if dad was acting out. Even our own relatives would avoid us. But thanks to the family therapy and support at BetterPlace, my mother, sister and I have found some peace as well. Even dad’s treatment is better. He’s taking his medicines more seriously. I am so grateful!

Frequently Asked Questions

Typically an early evaluation can last from 45 minutes to an hour. During this time, the psychiatrist or the psychologist will take a detailed case history where they might ask you about your medical history, chief complaints, lifestyle and symptoms. In some cases, a diagnosis may be made after the first session, but more complex conditions might require multiple appointments and assessments before a clear diagnosis is reached.

Lifetime medication is generally not prescribed by our professionals, however, severe cases or disorders like schizophrenia, Bipolar, or OCD may require lifetime medication, depending on the severity.
