Psychiatry

As a result of the pandemic, mental illnesses have skyrocketed. Many people fell into deep anxiety, depression, and isolation. According to WHO, Mental Health stands as the fourth most significant cause of death in the age group of 15 to 29. Known to be one of the best hospitals in Bangalore, East Point Hospital is known for its excellence in treating different forms of mental disorders.

Psychiatry is “the branch of medicine that researches & studies of diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders.” This often occurs unexpectedly and can affect adolescents and older adults alike, and a lapse in diagnosis is potentially life-threatening. These disorders, if not treated on time with the proper intervention, can unfortunately lead to suicidal ideations and several other debilitating conditions.

A psychiatrist is a medical practitioner qualified to diagnose and provide treatment and rehabilitation for disorders of the mind and emotions. To some extent, clinicians in this field understand the workings of the body, especially its systems, which are intimately tied to the brain. Depending on the level of the problem, our caring psychiatric specialists provide treatment on both an inpatient and outpatient basis.
