Conditions We Treat in OPD
Nearly every condition below is treated on an outpatient basis — you come, you are assessed, you go home with a plan. Admission is the exception, not the rule.
What it looks likePersistent low mood, loss of interest, fatigue, disturbed sleep or appetite, guilt, poor concentration, thoughts of self-harm.
How we treat itOPD treatment with antidepressants where indicated, cognitive behavioural therapy, and structured follow-up. Most patients improve within 4–8 weeks; severe or treatment-resistant cases can be escalated to our rTMS suite.
Read the full guideWhat it looks likeEpisodes of elevated mood, reduced need for sleep, over-spending or risk-taking, alternating with depressive phases.
How we treat itLong-term mood stabilisers, psychoeducation, mood charting and sleep-routine work. Reviewed every few weeks in OPD to keep you stable for years, not weeks.
Read the full guideWhat it looks likeConstant worry, restlessness, palpitations, breathlessness, chest tightness, fear of dying, avoiding travel or crowds.
How we treat itMost panic patients first visit a cardiologist. Once the heart is cleared, SSRIs plus CBT with interoceptive exposure restore normal function — usually within 8–12 weeks of OPD treatment.
Read the full guideWhat it looks likeRepeated washing, checking, counting or arranging; intrusive unwanted thoughts; hours lost to rituals.
How we treat itHigh-dose SSRIs with exposure and response prevention therapy. For resistant OCD we add FDA-approved rTMS protocols — available in Bhavnagar at our own neuromodulation suite.
Read the full guideWhat it looks likeHearing voices, suspiciousness, delusional beliefs, muttering to self, social withdrawal, self-neglect.
How we treat itEarly antipsychotic treatment, long-acting injectables when daily tablets are missed, family psychoeducation and vocational rehabilitation. The earlier treatment starts, the better the long-term outcome.
Read the full guideWhat it looks likeOverwhelming reaction after a loss, exam failure, job crisis, accident or relationship breakdown; crying spells, hopelessness, inability to function.

Read the full guideWhat it looks likeDifficulty falling or staying asleep, unrefreshing sleep, daytime fatigue, dependence on sleeping pills.
How we treat itWe treat the cause, not just the symptom: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), screening for sleep apnoea, thyroid problems and medication effects, and a plan to taper long-term sedatives safely.
