Psychiatry
A person’s mental health is influenced by several aspects that are related to interactions with society, the community, and family as well as aspects that are personal to the individual. A strong sense of self-worth, effective communication, and the fostering of resilience are just a few aspects of mental health.
Since mental health issues can be extremely severe and disabling conditions creating a significant impact on the population worldwide, they shouldn’t be seen as simple deficiencies that someone can easily overcome. Before having a significant negative impact on families, relationships, and communities, mental health disorders must be addressed and treated. Psychiatrists are very knowledgeable about both physical and mental health, as well as how they interact.
Psychiatry is different from psychology and should not be confused. The Department of Psychiatry at Preethi Hospitals excels in diagnosing and treating psychological disorders and mental illness. Preethi Hospital is the best place to find help and find cures!
