Dr. Deepti Kukreja
Best Psychiatrist in Mumbai
Mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder cause real pain.Many people suffer for months or years because these illnesses remain undiagnosed or improperly diagnosed and treated.
Over the past several decades and especially in recent years, psychiatry has become a much stronger medical discipline due to the introduction of improved diagnostic tools and treatment methods for psychiatric illness. These scientific advances and clinical breakthroughs should provide real excitement and hope to patients,
However, with the explosion in neuro-scientific knowledge and treatment methods (such as medications and talk therapy), psychiatry has become incredibly complex and confusing. Patients and family members need a highly trained psychiatrist to help them find the right diagnosis, identify all the relevant treatment options, and navigate a complicated mental health care system in order to get the best care possible. I have devoted my professional life to being just this kind of psychiatrist.
From so many patients and family members who are frightened and confused about mental illness, I often hear the question "Where do I start?". The psychiatrist, trained as a medical doctor and specializing in mental health issues, has the knowledge and experience required for the difficult task of diagnosing mental illness, recommending treatment options (including medications), and coordinating a team of professionals to assist in diagnosis and treatment.

If you are experiencing issues in your life that are distressing and causing trouble in important areas of your life, you should seek help. If you are having trouble with sleep, distressing thoughts, trouble at work, poor concentration, constant fatigue, problems in relationships, it is advisable to get psychological help soon to address and resolve the problems.
Since each case is different, the management plan for each individual is different. In certain cases, psychotropic medicines may need to be prescribed to aid in recovery, along with psychological interventions. In most cases, medication is prescribed for a short period of time and are completely non-addicting.
While psychiatric medicines do carry the possibility of inconveniencing side effects, most of them are entirely devoid of any long-term serious side effects at prescribed doses. Also, it is important to remember that while beneficial effects tend to get enhanced over time, most side effects tend to diminish over time.
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor specialised in mental illnesses and can prescribes medication, while a psychologist imparts therapy. In clinical cases, it is advisable to see a psychiatrist since hormonal and biological imbalances sometimes need the aid of medication (only if absolutely necessary). A psychologist is one who helps with adjustment and emotional troubles, with the aid of various forms of therapy.
If you have had any blood tests done recently, please carry the reports with you. Also, if you have had any psychological testing or evaluation, and any previous prescriptions from a psychiatrist, you should bring that along.
