PSYCHIATRY CONSULTATIONS AND COUNSELLING SESSIONS

For those confused souls out there, who are wondering if they need to consult a psychiatrist for counselling sessions here is what you could expect. If you are in need of support for mental health issues, by all means ‘consult’ a qualified doctor a.k.a a psychiatrist. You do that by asking for an appointment stating your concern in brief. Voila! You now find yourself facing an expert. After primary introductions, it is a good idea to begin your story right at the beginning. That means the time when you were absolutely hale and hearty.

 Nothing irritates an expert more than google patients who tell them explicitly that they are suffering from Major Depressive Disorder or PTSD. Trust me, you are paying your psychiatrist for precisely that. Making a diagnosis is best left to the expert. Next, you naturally expect Dr. Know-it-all to sit down with you, lend a shoulder for you to cry on and share some life shattering advice. And you come back home happy and content. Most people’s idea of counselling is what I just described. Unfortunately, that is far from the truth. Once the doctor analyses the case history, he/she needs to thoroughly examine the patient’s mental status. How the expert does that is beyond the scope of this article. But know that it requires years of rigorous training at medical school to master the art of mental status examination. So bear with the doctor as he/she keeps asking seemingly boring questions. Some supportive investigations like a brain imaging may also be required at this point. Once the doctor has all the cards on the table, he/she arrives at a provisional diagnosis. 

From thereon, starts the treatment. Now there is a gross difference between ‘treatment’ and ‘counselling’. Trust me, your grandmother can give you some excellent life changing advice if that is what you are looking for! The doctor however demands your active participation in seeking out the flaws in your thought process and emotional regulation that is the root cause of your illness. You really have to be willing to get out there and help if the counselling session is going to be a success. And yes, a single session will not go on forever. There is a scientific time limit to each day’s session. You usually come back with a series of homework. These are mental exercises that you are expected to do regularly and diligently. Therapy or counselling only works if you do. There will be a set number of counselling sessions at standard intervals and it is imperative that you show up. Towards the closing sessions, the psychiatrist will teach you coping skills to manage crisis situations on your own, so you need not rush to a doctor often. Along with these, your doctor might decide to put you on some medications if the need arises. Know that he/she is the best judge of your health and take the pills for the prescribed period.

I have given you a gist of how the psychiatry consultation and counselling sessions work. For further queries, feel free to look up my website. Till then, stay happy!

FINDING THE BEST PSYCHIATRIST IN KOLKATA FOR YOURSELF

If you are looking for the best psychiatrist in Kolkata, this article is for you.

To start with, there is never a one size fits all formula. A doctor who is just perfect for patient A might be totally wrong for patient B. For starters, understand this. You are expected to pour your heart out to a complete stranger (your psychiatrist) at the very first encounter. That is  a pretty challenging task if you are not comfortable around him/her. The reasons of discomfort might be many – gender difference, generation gap etc. The best psychiatrist in Kolkata for you would be the one you are comfortable with.

Next, there is a question of approachability. If you are intimidated by your doctor, you will not be totally truthful with him/her, especially when it comes to the dark part of your psyche. If that is the case, you will end up having a half-baked therapy. Again, that would be a waste of time, both for you and your doctor.

Then there is clarity. In the early visits, your psychiatrist should be able to give you a complete treatment plan that suits your requirements. This includes the duration of therapy, follow-up intervals and flip sides of medications.

Flexibility of schedule is another important criterion. In today’s busy world, leaving everything at work to keep an appointment with your doctor is next to impossible. Driving to the doctor’s clinic with a particularly ill patient is not an easy task. This is when the concept of online consultation comes in. You can have the session at all sorts of odd hours, just with a good internet connection and a phone/computer. A clinic that offers such consultations at flexible hours is the best bet for most people today. But that being said, both you and your doctor should be comfortable with the concept of virtual meets and e-prescriptions. The best psychiatrist for you in Kolkata would be someone who can bring the treatment to you, if you can’t go to him/her.

Empowering the patient and his/her caregivers is always a good doctor’s priority. You should be able to understand the ailment you are dealing with and what all you can do to overcome it. Yes, that is right. Therapy in psychiatry is always a dual process. It needs active participation from both the doctor and the patient with his/her caregivers. The concept of teamwork in medicine is alien to most people in Kolkata. But as an expert, I can tell you it is your best bet. The doctor’s expertise and empathy, together with the patient’s trust and willingness to get better can work wonders. Add caring and patient caregivers to the mix, and miracles can happen, even with the most difficult of ailments.

To sum up, the best psychiatrist in Kolkata for you would be someone you can trust explicitly, approach comfortably at flexible hours, and openly discuss treatment options with. Good luck finding the right one for yourself!
