Confidential, compassionate mental health care for every age — from anxiety, depression and stress to sleep problems and long-term mental health conditions — with qualified psychiatrists and on-site laboratory support.
The Psychiatry department at Apollo Clinic Shyamnagar evaluates and manages conditions that affect mood, thinking, behaviour, sleep and emotional wellbeing. Mental health concerns are common, treatable and nothing to be ashamed of — and reaching out early usually leads to better and faster recovery.
Our psychiatrists begin with an unhurried conversation. We listen to your history, understand what you have been experiencing and how it is affecting your work, relationships and daily life, and then discuss a clear plan with you. Treatment may involve medication, therapy, lifestyle changes or a combination, and it is always decided together with you.
Mind and body are closely linked — thyroid disease, vitamin deficiencies, diabetes, chronic pain and certain medicines can all affect mood and sleep. Being part of a multispeciality clinic means these physical causes are looked at alongside your symptoms rather than missed.
Consultations are supported by relevant investigations available through our Laboratory department:
| Service | What It Is Used For |
|---|---|
| Psychiatric Consultation | Detailed clinical evaluation of mood, anxiety, sleep, behaviour, memory and other emotional or psychological concerns in children, adults and older adults |
| Medication Management | Careful selection, monitoring and review of medicines, including dose adjustment, side-effect checks and safe, supervised tapering when appropriate |
| Counselling & Therapy Guidance | Supportive counselling, coping strategies and lifestyle advice, with referral to a clinical psychologist or therapist where talk therapy is recommended |
| Blood Tests for Mental Health Evaluation | Thyroid profile, vitamin B12, vitamin D, blood sugar, complete blood count and other relevant tests, available through our Laboratory department, used to rule out physical contributors to low mood, anxiety, fatigue or poor sleep |
| Follow-up & Review | Scheduled reviews to track progress, adjust treatment and support you through recovery and relapse prevention |
The list below covers what we see most often. If your concern is not listed, it does not mean we cannot help — please call the clinic or book a consultation and our psychiatrist will advise.

Private & Non-JudgmentalConsultations are conducted in a private, respectful setting. Your concerns are heard without judgement, and your information is handled with medical confidentiality. | Whole-Person EvaluationBlood tests are available through our Laboratory department, so physical causes such as thyroid problems or vitamin deficiencies can be checked alongside your symptoms. | |
Care for Every AgeFrom children and teenagers to working adults and older family members, mental health care is available for every stage of life. | Multispeciality ReferralDirect coordination with general medicine and endocrinology within the clinic, since conditions like diabetes, thyroid disease and chronic pain often affect mood and sleep, with onward referral into the Apollo network for advanced or inpatient care. | |
Consider a consultation if low mood, worry, irritability or sleep problems last more than two weeks, or if they are affecting your work, studies, relationships or daily routine. Other signs include loss of interest in things you used to enjoy, changes in appetite, difficulty concentrating, or thoughts that feel overwhelming or frightening. You do not need to wait until things feel unbearable — early evaluation usually makes treatment simpler.
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose mental health conditions, look for physical contributors, and prescribe medication. Counsellors and clinical psychologists provide talk-based therapies. Many people benefit from a combination, and your psychiatrist will advise whether therapy alongside or instead of medication suits your situation.
Not necessarily. The duration depends on the condition, how severe it is and how you respond. Many people take medicines for a defined period and then stop under medical supervision, while some long-term conditions need ongoing treatment, much like diabetes or high blood pressure. Please do not stop or change a psychiatric medicine on your own — sudden changes can cause withdrawal effects or bring symptoms back.
Yes. Doctors are bound by medical confidentiality, and what you share is not disclosed to others without your consent. The usual exceptions are narrow and relate to serious risk to your own life or the safety of others, or where the law requires disclosure. Your psychiatrist will explain this clearly at the start.
Start with a calm, private conversation that focuses on what you have noticed and that you care, rather than labelling or arguing. Suggesting a general health check-up can feel less threatening as a first step. You are also welcome to come in yourself to talk to our team about how best to support them, and we can guide you on the next steps.
If there is a risk of self-harm or harm to others, please do not wait for an appointment. Call the emergency number 112 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department straight away. In India, the government's Tele-MANAS helpline (14416) also offers free, round-the-clock mental health support.
