Psychiatric Medicine & Psychotherapy

Psychiatry is a medical speciality dedicated to the study and treatment of mental disorders. Just like the body, the mind is also prone to suffer from various illnesses.

The department of psychiatry at Shree Hospital strives to understand the depth of these illnesses and to provide patients with state-of-the-art care and treatment for the same. Psychiatry patients are particularly vulnerable and must be able to trust doctors with their lives and well-being. The department of psychiatry at Shree Hospital strives to uphold this trust by maintaining a good standard of practice and care. We endeavour to provide transparent, fair, and ethical services to all.
