Adult psychiatry deals with the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of mental illness in people aged above 18 years. Unlike general psychiatry, it focuses on mental and psychosocial issues that develop in individuals in their adulthood.

Imagine a man washing his hands repeatedly every 10 minutes and if stopped, gets violent. This could be Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Another man could be happy for two months and then become sad for a week before going into depression. This is a common symptom you find in an individual suffering from Bi-polar Affective Disorder. Other illnesses could be schizophrenia and attention deficit disorder, where people can't concentrate on one thing for long.

All these forms of illnesses/disorders come under an umbrella term of Adult Psychiatry and are treated based on the symptoms one experiences. If you’re seeking treatment for any such disorder, consult a clinical psychologist today at Cadabams Hospital rather than self-treatment. We use clinically-verified and solution-oriented treatment plans that are customized for you to provide the care and support you need with our multispeciality team. At cadabams, we care for you. 

What Constitutes Adult Psychiatry?

Adult psychiatry deals with disorders in a person’s thinking, behavioral changes, and constant mood swings. It usually affects their personal and professional relationships forcing them to start abusing alcohol and drugs. In general, Adult psychiatry deals with several disorders whose level of symptoms can vary from individual to individual.

Under adult psychiatry, our doctors first perform an assessment of the individual through questionnaires and tests such as ink blot tests, combine it with physical tests such as imaging of the brain and even blood tests to determine the severity of the illness. Neuropsychiatry is also used in some cases. This diagnosis helps our doctors to determine the medicines to be administered and if the patient has to be treated as an in-patient or an outpatient.
