Services
Psychiatric care across every age group, from a first assessment to long-term follow-up, in person at Patrapada or online. If you are not sure which of these fits what you are going through, that is genuinely what a first conversation is for.
Adult psychiatric services
Assessment and treatment for the conditions that most often bring adults to a psychiatrist: low mood, persistent worry, intrusive thoughts, mood swings, and experiences that have started to feel frightening or hard to explain. Care is evidence-based, and what happens next is decided together rather than handed down.
- Depressive disorders
- Anxiety disorders
- Bipolar disorders
- Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Panic disorder
- Social anxiety disorder
- Phobias
- Personality disorders
Child and adolescent psychiatric services
For children and teenagers, and for the parents trying to work out whether what they are seeing is a phase or something worth looking at properly. Assessment takes in school, home and development together, because a child's difficulty rarely sits in one place.
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
- Intellectual disability
- Depression in children and adolescents
- Behavioural problems
- Oppositional defiant disorder
- Conduct problems
- School refusal
Geriatric mental health services
Later-life mental health, where memory, mood and physical illness often tangle together and need untangling before anything else. Families are usually part of these conversations, because they carry much of what happens between appointments.
Addiction and de-addiction services
Help with substances and with behaviours that have taken more room than they were meant to. Treatment covers the withdrawal itself, the reasons underneath it, and the part nobody warns you about, which is staying well afterwards.
- Substance use disorders
- Tobacco and nicotine dependence
- Alcohol use disorder
- Opioid dependence
- Heroin dependence
- Cannabis dependence
- Cocaine and stimulant use
- Prescription medication misuse
- Multiple-substance use
- Behavioural addictions
- Internet addiction
- Gaming disorder
- Gambling disorder
Psychotherapy and psychological interventions
Talking treatments, used on their own or alongside medication depending on what fits. These are structured approaches with evidence behind them rather than general counselling, and which one is offered depends on what is actually getting in the way.
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
- Exposure and response prevention (ERP)
- Behaviour therapy
- Behavioural activation
- Supportive psychotherapy
- Motivational interviewing
- Relapse prevention therapy
- Stress management
- Relaxation-based interventions
- Anger management
- Family interventions
- Parenting interventions
- Psychoeducation
Women's mental health
Mental health through the points in a woman's life where hormones, sleep and circumstance all shift at once: the weeks before a period, pregnancy and the year after birth, fertility treatment, and the menopause transition. Treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding is planned with those specifics in mind.
- Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)
- Premenstrual mood and emotional difficulties
- Infertility-related psychological difficulties
- Antenatal depression
- Antenatal anxiety
- Postpartum depression
- Postpartum anxiety
- Postpartum psychosis
- Perinatal bipolar disorder
- Mental-health support during pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Menopause-related emotional difficulties
- Anxiety and depression during midlife
- Sleep and mood problems during menopause
Sleep and circadian health
Sleep that will not come, will not stay, or arrives at the wrong hour. Sleep problems both cause and follow other difficulties, so the first job is usually working out which way round it is in your case.
Neuropsychiatry and cognitive health
Where mind and brain overlap: changes in thinking, memory or behaviour that follow a neurological illness, and the psychological work of adjusting to a long-term physical condition.
- Cognitive complaints
- Memory difficulties
- Neurocognitive disorders
- Behavioural changes associated with neurological conditions
- Psychiatric symptoms following neurological illness
- Psychological adjustment to chronic illness
Stress, burnout and emotional wellbeing
The difficulties that come from circumstance rather than illness, and still need help: work that has stopped being survivable, exams, a relationship under strain, a loss that has not settled. You do not need a diagnosis to be worth an appointment.
- Chronic stress
- Workplace burnout
- Academic stress
- Examination stress
- Relationship difficulties
- Family-related stress
- Grief and loss
Family and caregiver support
For the people around the patient. Understanding the illness, managing the day to day, spotting a relapse early, and looking after your own health while you do it. Caring for someone with a psychiatric condition is work, and it is easier with guidance.
- Family psychoeducation
- Understanding psychiatric disorders
- Supporting a loved one with mental illness
- Medication and treatment adherence support
- Behavioural management guidance
- Dementia caregiver support
- Addiction-related family interventions
- Caregiver stress management
- Communication and relationship guidance
- Early warning signs and relapse prevention
- Long-term care planning
Psychiatric assessment and second opinion
A full assessment when the picture is not clear, or a second opinion when treatment has not worked the way anyone hoped. Bring whatever records and prescriptions you have; reviewing what has already been tried is most of the value.
- Comprehensive psychiatric assessment
- Diagnostic evaluation
- Diagnostic clarification
- Complex and treatment-resistant case assessment
- Medication review
- Treatment-plan review
- Psychiatric second opinion
