Depression & anxiety
Structured psychiatric assessment for depression and anxiety, with a plan built around your actual presentation rather than a single symptom checklist.
What it is
Depression and anxiety are common, treatable, and frequently occur together, though they don't always need the same approach. Depression often involves persistent low mood, loss of interest, or fatigue; anxiety often involves excessive worry, restlessness, or physical tension. Both can range from mild to severe, and both deserve a proper evaluation rather than a quick label. Patients reach our depression and anxiety clinic from across Delhi as well as from abroad for a second opinion or a structured treatment plan.
Common symptoms & concerns
- Persistent low mood or loss of interest lasting two weeks or more
- Excessive worry that's hard to control
- Fatigue, poor concentration, or disrupted sleep
- Physical symptoms without a clear medical cause (tension, racing heart)
- Withdrawal from work, relationships, or activities you used to enjoy
- Thoughts of self-harm (if this applies to you, please see the emergency notice below)
Assessment & care
Assessment approach
A structured consultation with a psychiatrist covers history, current symptoms, and their impact on daily functioning. We ask direct questions about severity and safety, because that's how a plan gets matched to what's actually happening, not just how you describe it in one line.
In-scope care
In-scope care includes psychiatric assessment, medication management where clinically indicated, and referral to structured therapy. Whether therapy, medication, or both is the right combination is a conversation for your assessment, not something decided in advance.
How we treat it
Psychiatric care, structured talking therapy, non-invasive brain stimulation where indicated, and Ayurvedic and mind-body support, combined into one plan.

Related questions
Neither is universally "better." For some patients, therapy alone is sufficient; for others, medication or a combination works better. This is decided after assessment, based on severity and your history, not by default.
Yes, when both are present they're usually assessed and managed together, since they frequently overlap and interact.
It's a structured conversation, generally longer than a routine consultation, so there's enough time to cover history, current symptoms, and safety properly. See Patient Journey for what to expect before your visit.
