FAQs
When should I consult a psychiatrist or psychologist?
Seek help for persistent sadness, anxiety, sleep disturbances, difficulty concentrating, changes in behaviour, or emotional challenges affecting daily life.
What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while a psychologist provides therapy, counselling, and behavioural interventions.
Will my consultations remain confidential?
Yes. All sessions are strictly confidential, ensuring privacy and a safe environment for open discussion.
Can therapy alone help without medicines?
Many mild to moderate mental health conditions respond well to therapy alone. Medications are prescribed only when clinically indicated.
How many counselling sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies based on the type and severity of the concern—some patients see improvement in a few visits, while others benefit from longer-term support.
