About Behavioral Therapy

Behavioral therapy, performed by a psychiatrist, is a structured, evidence-based psychological treatment that focuses on identifying and changing maladaptive thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is grounded in the principle that learned patterns of behavior can be unlearned and replaced with healthier alternatives. Common approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Exposure Therapy. This collaborative process involves the psychiatrist working with the patient to set specific goals, develop coping strategies, and practice new skills to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions, promoting long-term emotional resilience and well-being.

PATIENT REVIEW

Karan Khan, a 28-year-old software engineer,...

Karan Khan, a 28-year-old software engineer, had always been a high achiever. Recently promoted to a team lead role, he began experiencing intense, debilitating panic attacks at work. His heart would race, he'd feel dizzy and detached from reality, and was consumed by a fear of losing control or having a heart attack. This led to him avoiding meetings and social work events, and he started calling in sick frequently. His primary care physician, after ruling out physical causes, referred him to a psychiatrist, Dr. Sharma. Dr. Sharma diagnosed Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia and recommended Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), specifically focusing on panic control treatment and gradual exposure. Initially skeptical, Karan found the sessions challenging but empowering. He learned to identify his catastrophic thoughts ('I'm having a heart attack') and replace them with realistic ones ('This is a panic attack, it will pass'). Using breathing techniques and slowly re-entering feared situations, he regained control. Six months later, Karan is back at work full-time, leads meetings confidently, and even gave a presentation to senior management. His emotional journey moved from fear and shame about his 'weakness' to understanding and pride in his resilience. He now sees his anxiety not as a flaw, but as a manageable part of his life.
