Mental health is how we feel, think and act as we cope with life. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others and make choices. Studies indicate that 1% of the population suffer from severe mental health disorders, while 5-10% of Indians suffer from moderate disturbances. At Apollo Clinic, our team of highly skilled and experienced psychiatrists and psychologists provide a range of diagnostic, psychotherapeutic and medical services for the management of psychiatric disorders.
What is Psychiatry?
Psychiatry is the study and treatment of mental illnesses, emotional disturbances and abnormal behaviour. At Apollo Clinic, our Centre of Psychiatry envisions to provide world-class mental health care by a team of eminent psychiatry and psychology professionals. We provide medical and psychotherapeutic modalities for all kinds of mental health disorders ranging from mood disorders to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
What is the first step?
The biggest challenge of mental health disorders is to identify that there is a problem. The first sign of any mental health issue differs from person to person and are not always easy to spot. Very often, in cases of moderate depression or anxiety, the person becoming distressed may not display symptoms or may deliberately hide them.
Causes
There are multiple causes of mental illness. People with a family history of psychiatric disorders, long-standing prolonged stress, chronic illness, regular use of alcohol and substance use and abuse are more vulnerable to mental illnesses.
Signs & Symptoms
Just the prevalence of a few of these symptoms cannot predict a mental disorder or illness. However, if a person experiences several of these symptoms together for prolonged periods of time, it could indicate a mental health problem. It is always advisable to seek the services of a mental health professional at the earliest; early intervention is better for all concerned. Advancements in medication are continually improving the outlook of people with mental illnesses. With sufficient psychological and social support, most people with mental disorders can have an active and fulfilled life.
