About Behavioral Disorders

Behavioral disorders treatment in psychiatry is a comprehensive, personalized therapeutic process aimed at diagnosing, managing, and alleviating conditions characterized by disruptive, distressing, or harmful patterns of thought, emotion, and action. This is not a single surgical procedure but a structured medical intervention led by a psychiatrist. It involves a detailed clinical assessment, accurate diagnosis, and the implementation of a multimodal treatment plan. This plan typically integrates psychotherapy (like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Dialectical Behavior Therapy), pharmacotherapy (medication management), lifestyle modifications, and family/social support systems. The goal is to reduce symptoms, improve daily functioning, enhance quality of life, and equip individuals with sustainable coping strategies for long-term mental wellness.

PATIENT REVIEW

As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer...

As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer with treatment-resistant depression, I'd lost all joy in life until Dr. Kurinjinathan introduced me to novel neuromodulation therapy. His integration of movement therapy with medication completely transformed my recovery, I'm now teaching dance to seniors with mental health challenges.
