What Does a Psychiatrist do?

A Psychiatrist treats mental, behavioral, and emotional disorders. It can be with the help of psychotherapy or pharmacotherapy.


Do I Have Depression?

Depression is a common mental disorder. A depressive episode lasts at least two weeks and is characterised by a depressed mood (sad, irritated, or empty feelings) or a loss of enjoyment or interest in activities for the majority of each day. Other signs may include difficulty concentrating, feelings of overwhelming guilt or low self-worth, a lack of hope for the future, suicidal or death thoughts, disturbed sleep, changes in food, and feeling particularly exhausted or low on energy.

A scale to assess has been provided on the Right. This scale has to be applied by a professional only.

Note that a professional has to be consulted to diagnose Depression.

Do I Have Anxiety?

It's common to have uneasiness every now and then. Many people fret about things like their health, their finances, or their family issues. However, anxiety disorders go beyond momentary apprehension or fear. For those who suffer from an anxiety disorder, the anxiety persists and may even worsen over time. The symptoms might affect daily tasks like work performance, academic progress, and interpersonal connections.

Some Common Symptoms 

1) Feeling restless, wound-up, or on-edge 

2) Difficulty controlling feelings of worry

3) Pounding or racing heart

4) Trembling or tingling


Do I have OCD?

Obsessions—repeating undesirable thoughts that cause an intense need to repeat a certain behavior—are a common symptom of OCD. To help themselves stop having obsessive thoughts, they then act out that impulse or compulsion. Eg : Many individuals check twice to be sure the front door is secured or the stove is off.
