Psychiatry

Mental illness is a sickness just like diabetes or heart problem or any other disease that requires treatment. The department of Psychiatry at BBH consists of well qualified psychiatrists and a clinical psychologist. The psychiatrists are trained to manage all mental health problems occurring in children, adolescents, adults and the elderly. The clinical psychologist has vast experience in counseling and offers various forms of psychotherapies.

The out-patient department functions on all 6 working days of the week including an evening clinic on Wednesdays. The in-patient facility allows admission of patients who are in need of more supervised care.
