What happens after you have contacted us?

Once you have decided whether you prefer a telemedicine call or a personal visit to the clinic,Personal visits to the clinic are by prior appointment only. Please bring any prior medical records you may have. Parking is by roadside arrangement. Unfortunately, we currently do not have disability access. Payment is by UPI or cash. You will receive your prescription to take home. You can order your medicine online or from your local pharmacy. If any blood tests or radiology scans are required, they will be prescribed and a second visit arranged after obtaining the results.

Telemedicine – call by appointment only. If you have electronic medical records, please share them with the doctor prior to your appointment. The call will last 20–60 min, usually for a psychiatric assessment. However, psychotherapy assessments may be done over 2 to 3 sessions of 60 min each so as to complete the formulation and further treatment advised. Payment is by UPI, after which you will receive your prescription.

We will work through the pungent, tearful onion layers to make your rich experiences become valuable assets in your life. Notes will be taken during the telemedicine call or face-to-face appointment while simultaneously listening to your concerns.

In all cases, we strongly recommend including a family member or friend, if appropriate, to accompany you for the consultation over telemedicine or in person, as it provides valuable information, which in turn helps your cause.

The Treatment processes

This involves your openness to the problem, and our discussion will lead to a diagnosis. Sometimes, lab or radiology scans will be prescribed before commencing medications. The medications are commenced at a smaller dose and gradually increased in dose. Additional medications may be added simultaneously or one after the other. The greater the emotional turmoil, the more talking therapy in the form of psychotherapy will be advised. These are talking sessions lasting 45 minutes each, where a better sense of the problem is made out and ways to deal with it are addressed. For example, these sessions may be needed 1–3 times a week for 4 months to a year. Towards the end of treatment, as the period may be, a gradual reduction of medications will be made before stopping them. If it is talking therapy, we will inform you of the progress you have achieved and when the sessions can stop. Often, as is the case, a combination of medications and psychotherapy is needed to work through mental health issues and mental illness.

Where and how?

Bangalore traffic is congested and the burden of travelling for each appointment can be tedious, and you may give up. To overcome this trouble, we provide telemedicine with prescriptions arriving on your smart phones, which you can purchase from your chosen stores or order online and have them delivered to your doorstep. The occasional visit to the clinic is in a home environment where you will not feel rushed or trampled in a crowd. We can provide you with more direct clinical attention than in a hospital setting. In addition, with telemedicine, you can reach us in the early morning and evening hours as well as during working day time (7 am to 10 pm); thus, providing you with ample flexibility in consultation hours. I hope these arrangements make life easy for you and your family and friends keen on supporting you.
