All About Psychiatry

Treatments & Services

Psychiatry is the branch of medicine that deals and focuses on the medicine related to the human’s emotional, mental and behavioural disorders.

These disorders can sometimes have no symptoms or sometimes a lot of symptoms at once. One must not forget that these are disorders that need urgent treatment so that a person can come back to his normal behaviour.

Along with physical health, mental health also plays an important role in our overall well-being. Being emotionally and mentally fit is important to be able to allow our brains and heart to function properly. These mental illnesses are often ignored by people like anxiety, depression, etc. It is important to note that these conditions are like any other medical conditions that can cause harmful effects on the body.

These disorders may affect you occasionally or can even last for a long time. They affect your mood, behaviour and functions of the body.

Mental Disorders

There are a lot of mental disorders that people don’t talk about frankly. These are serious medical conditions that need urgent care. Some of these disorders include:

1. Anxiety disorders - Anxiety is a feeling of uneasiness, dread or fear. A person who has an anxiety attack may sweat, feel restless and have a fast heartbeat. Normally, feeling a bit of anxiety is normal in daily life but people with continuous anxiety attacks can not focus on other things. For such people, the anxiety doesn’t go away and becomes worse with time.
2. Depression - Depression is a serious illness of feeling sad every time. This feeling doesn’t go away and result in feeling empty, not feeling like eating, feeling tired and lost, imagining thoughts related to death or suicide, etc. Depression is a brain illness and can have various causes behind it. A person with depression needs urgent counselling in treatment.
3. Eating disorders - Eating disorders are a serious mental disorder problem that may result in no control in eating. A person with an eating disorder may overeat sometimes and may undereat other times. These habits may cause nutritional problems and may affect the kidney and liver. The cause of an eating disorder is still unknown but it can surely be treated.
4. Personality Disorders - People with personality disorder face difficulties in facing daily life situations that include stress and anxiety. This results in a sudden change of behaviour that causes trouble in their relationships and at work. People with this disorder always think that they are right and the other person has some problem.
5. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD is a mental disorder that develops in a person after he sees or experiences any traumatic event like a car accident, natural disaster, sexual assault etc. These incidents leave a great impact on the person which is why the patient remains afraid of the same. This fear can result in high blood pressure, sweating, etc.
