In a hospital that treats serious physical illness, emotional health still matters. Consultation-liaison psychiatry supports patients on medical and surgical wards, where problems such as delirium, anxiety, depression or post-operative confusion can develop and slow recovery. Some patients also arrive with an existing psychiatric illness, such as psychosis, which the treating team must manage alongside their physical treatment.
The psychiatrist works as a consultant to the treating team, reviewing the patient, adjusting medicines and guiding staff and families. Support may include counselling, medicine changes and advice on communication. The aim is to help the patient follow treatment and recover fully. Patients looking for a mental health hospital in Mumbai with this link to general medical care benefit from a single team that knows their whole story.
