Psychiatry is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illnesses and emotional disorders. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialise in understanding the complexities of the human mind, emotions, and behaviour. They use their medical training to assess both the biological and psychological aspects of mental health conditions, making it a unique field within medicine.

Psychiatrists employ a wide range of therapeutic approaches to help individuals dealing with mental health issues. Psychiatry plays a crucial role in the healthcare system, as mental health is an integral part of overall well-being. It addresses a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and eating disorders. By providing assessment, treatment, and support, psychiatrists contribute to improving the mental and emotional health of individuals and communities.

If you, or any of your loved ones, are going through an emotional upheaval, ensure to reach out to someone close to you, or to a specialist. BBR Hospitals’ team of Psychiatrists are always ready and willing to help.
