Psychiatry

Assessment and medication review where mental health needs attention alongside another condition being treated, at accredited hospitals across Delhi NCR.

We will be direct: we do not recommend travelling internationally for psychiatric care by itself. Continuity of care matters more in this specialty than almost any other, and continuity is exactly what travel breaks.

Free. No obligation. A written opinion within 48 hours.

Psychiatric care depends on continuity, and travel breaks it

This page exists to be honest about the limits of what medical travel can offer, rather than to sell you something.

Treatment is a relationship over time

Psychiatric care works through regular contact with a clinician who knows you, over months and years. A short assessment abroad cannot substitute for that.

Medication needs adjusting repeatedly

Doses are titrated, side effects managed and changes made in response to how you are. That requires someone who can see you regularly.

Language and culture matter more here than elsewhere

Psychiatric assessment depends on nuance in conversation. Working through translation loses a great deal that would be preserved in a surgical consultation.

Crisis care must be local

If things deteriorate, you need services where you live. Being far from home during a difficult period makes it worse rather than better.

Where we can genuinely help is when you are already here for another condition, or where a complex medication regimen needs reviewing by someone with fresh eyes. Tell us and we will arrange it.

Conditions

Conditions we treat

Procedures

Procedures, stay and recovery

What we can realistically arrange, and what belongs at home.

Procedure 01

Psychiatric assessment

A full assessment by a consultant psychiatrist, in your own language where we can arrange it, with a written formulation and recommendations that your own doctor can act on. This is most useful where a diagnosis has never been formally made or where treatment has not worked.

Time needed
1 to 2 sessions
Total time in India
Alongside your other treatment
Indicative cost
On request
Procedure 02

Medication review

A structured review of a long-standing or complex regimen — what each drug is for, whether it is still needed, interactions with treatment for your physical condition, and whether simplification is possible. Patients on several psychiatric drugs for years frequently benefit from fresh assessment.

Time needed
1 to 2 sessions
Total time in India
Within your existing trip
Indicative cost
On request
Procedure 03

Pre-operative psychological assessment

Required before bariatric surgery and before living organ donation, and useful before other major procedures. For donors it exists specifically to confirm the decision is free of family pressure, and it protects you rather than obstructing you.

Time needed
1 session
Total time in India
Part of your workup
Indicative cost
On request
Procedure 04

Support during treatment

Input during a difficult admission — managing delirium after surgery, supporting a patient through a long transplant or cancer admission, and supporting the family member who came with them. Attendants carry a great deal and are rarely offered anything.

Procedure 05

A written plan for your own doctor

Whatever is assessed here is written up clearly for the clinician who will look after you at home, including the reasoning behind any change. Continuity is the point of this specialty, and a good handover is what preserves it across a journey.

Selection

How we choose the surgeon

A psychiatrist who speaks your language

Assessment depends on nuance in conversation. Where we cannot arrange a psychiatrist who speaks Arabic, Russian or Bengali, we will tell you the assessment will be less complete.

Liaison experience with medical patients

Assessing depression in someone with kidney failure, or delirium after cardiac surgery, is a distinct skill from general psychiatry.

Willingness to write for your own doctor

A clear written formulation your local clinician can act on is the deliverable here, not the consultation itself.

The measure of a useful psychiatric assessment abroad is the quality of the letter that goes home with you.

Honestly

Risks, and who should not travel

Medication changes take weeks to show their effect and can cause side effects or withdrawal symptoms, which is why they should not be made lightly by someone who will not see you again. Starting or stopping psychiatric medication without follow-up arranged is genuinely risky. Any change we recommend is written up for your own doctor, and we will not make a change that cannot be monitored.

When we will tell you not to travel

Anyone in crisis

Please contact local emergency services or someone you trust today. Travel is not the answer and this website cannot help in an emergency.

Travelling for psychiatric care alone

We advise against it. Continuity of care matters more in this specialty than in any other we work in.

Where local services exist and are working

If you have a psychiatrist who knows you, staying with them is usually better than a fresh assessment abroad.

Anyone promised a cure for a chronic condition

Depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are managed rather than cured. Clinics promising otherwise should be avoided.

Where follow-up cannot be arranged

We will not change medication if nobody can monitor the effect. That is not caution for its own sake.

This is the one specialty where our honest answer is usually that we are not the right service. We would rather say so clearly.

Your trip

What your trip looks like

Questions

Questions patients ask

We would generally advise against it. Psychiatric care works through continuity — regular contact with someone who knows you, adjusting treatment over months. A short assessment abroad cannot replace that, and being far from home during a difficult period usually makes things harder rather than easier.

Assessment and medication review when you are already here for another condition. Psychological assessment required before bariatric surgery or organ donation. Support during a long admission, for you and for the family member who came with you. And a clear written plan for your own doctor to continue.

It is extremely common and it is treatable, and it is frequently overlooked because everyone is focused on the physical illness. Depression alongside chronic illness affects how well you cope with treatment and how well you recover. Tell us — it is a reasonable thing to raise and we will arrange assessment.

Yes, and this is one of the more useful things we offer. Patients on several psychiatric drugs for years often benefit from fresh assessment of what each is for and whether it is still needed. Any change is written up for your own doctor, and we will not make changes nobody can monitor.

Yes, and thank you for asking — very few people do. Attendants accompanying a patient through months of treatment carry a great deal and are almost never offered support. We can arrange assessment and support for family members during your admission.

Please contact your local emergency services, go to your nearest hospital, or speak to someone you trust today. This website cannot help in a crisis, and waiting for a reply from us is not the right thing to do. Local help now matters more than any plan we could make.
