Clear answers to common questions about psychiatric consultations, medicines, confidentiality, online consultations, clinics and appointments.
Yes, psychiatry is safe when practised by a qualified psychiatrist. Dr. Satish Kumar is trained at AIIMS Delhi with 11 years of clinical experience, and every treatment plan is built around your specific symptoms and history.
Most psychiatric medicines are not addictive. A small group, like certain sleep or anxiety medicines, can cause dependence if misused, which is why they are prescribed carefully, in the lowest effective dose, and reviewed regularly. Nothing is started or stopped without discussing it with you first.
The first visit is a conversation, not a test. Dr. Satish will ask about what you have been going through, your sleep, mood, stress, medical history, and family background.
There are no injections or procedures. By the end you will have a clear picture of what is happening and what your treatment options are, and you decide the next step together. First consultations run a little longer than follow-ups because there is more to understand.
No, medicines are not always needed. As a psychiatrist, Dr. Satish provides counselling and prescribes medication when it will help.
Where structured therapy like CBT is the right approach, he refers you to a trusted psychologist. Where medicines do help, the reason is explained clearly so you can make an informed choice. You are never pushed into anything.
