We provide help for major psychiatric diseases like dementia, schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions like alcoholism, anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, sleep problems, sexual dysfunctions, behavioral problems in children, learning disabilities, etc.
We will take a detailed history from the patient and the family members, and do a detailed Mental Status Examination of the patient to arrive at a diagnosis. We may request you consult any local doctor to get a physical examination, or to get some laboratory investigations done from any center in your locality. Based on the results of all these, we may recommend the appropriate medications the patient can take. If we feel the patient needs any counselling or psychotherapy, we will do that online.
Video consultations are conducted via free software like Zoom, Skype, and Meetings.io. Meetings.io does not require any software downloads, and the others in the list can be downloaded by clicking the respective links. You will need a webcam/video camera and microphone compatible with the software you choose. You will also need a broadband internet connection (DSL, cable, T1, or higher).
Our Psychiatrists are licensed to prescribe to people from India. If they feel that medications are necessary for your patient, they will e-mail you the prescription as a PDF file.
We sympathize with you, but our answer is no. Better consult any Psychiatrist in your locality and describe the situation to him. He should be able to provide you some useful suggestions.

We would definitely like to help you. However, you should understand that it won't be possible for us to verify anyone's online claims of poverty. What we would suggest is, you pay for the first consultation. If, during the first assessment, we are convinced that you are not in a position to pay us for further sessions, we can do the follow-up consultations for free or charge you only a smaller fee.
