Psychiatry is a medical speciality concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of various mental health disorders. In today’s fast-paced world, stress has become a new norm. If not treated properly and on time, it can grow into anxiety or even depression. Moreover, it can have physical implications as well like high BP, diabetes, and various immune disorders.

Procedure

For outpatients: The first thing for outpatients who are going to get treatment at Manipal Hospitals is to undergo full physical and psychological testing by an assigned person and their consultant psychiatrist.

After the full assessment is done and reports are carefully analysed by the psychiatrist, further treatment will be recommended. 

For inpatients: Manipal Hospitals offer a unique setting for inpatients where they can get world-class treatment. We ensure that the mental well-being of patients is improved on a holistic level. We recommend inpatient treatment because the everyday stress at home and other places may trigger more anxiety and worsen the mental health of the patient. 

Our mental health facility with calming and secure ambience ensures full and fast recovery for patients.
