CONSULTATION

Consultation is done only by appointment. Some record – not details of personal life – of every patient is kept, which is very useful for future visits and research purposes. All patients’ histories are kept strictly confidential.

At this time, comprehensive treatment for drug abuse is not available in the clinic, but initial consultation can be done. Also I am trained in “Adult Psychiatry” and not in “Child Psychiatry”. I am not an expert on treating children under 12, even though I have done some work with them. I will see children only if no other child psychiatrist is available in town.

Except for the above, treatment for a wide range of psychiatric disorders, as described are available in the clinic.
