General adult psychiatry looks after adults whose mood, thinking or behaviour has changed enough to affect work, relationships or daily routine. Depression, anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are among the conditions seen, and many are very treatable. A visit to a psychiatrist in Mumbai is often the first step towards feeling like oneself again.

Assessment involves a detailed conversation, a mental state examination and, where useful, rating scales and blood tests to rule out physical causes. Treatment may combine medicines, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes and family support. Medicines take a few weeks to work and may cause side effects such as drowsiness or weight change, which we discuss openly. Regular follow-up allows the plan to be adjusted as the patient improves.
