Overview

The Department of Clinical Psychology at NHS Hospital provides mental health services in child and adolescent treatment, as well as adult mental health issues. Our team of psychologists work towards understanding, preventing and reliving all types of emotional/behavioural disorders related to mental health, such as Depression, Anxiety Disorder and Stress etc.. Mental health affects how one may think, feel and react and it affects our decision making. Following factors contribute to psychological problems:

• Biological Factors

Abnormal balance of brain chemicals or deficiencies of certain vitamins and minerals, prenatal damage, head trauma or substance abuse

• Life Experiences and Environmental Factors

Emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, relationship issues or social expectations

• Hereditary

Family history of mental health problems

• Psychological and Individual Factors

Personality of an individual, attitude, reaction and their thoughts

If you or your loved one is suffering from any issue pertaining to mental health, you must seek help. Depending on the condition, a patient can be referred either to a psychiatrist or psychologist or both. Psychiatrists and psychologists often work together to treat the patient's underlying mental disorder. A Clinical Psychologist or Psychotherapist is trained and certified to interpret a number of assessments that can help diagnose a disorder, illness or convey more about the way a person thinks, feels and behaves. In India one needs a license from the Rehabilitation Council of India to practice Clinical Psychology. At NHS all our clinical psychologists are not only licensed but highly experienced.
