'Mind' is perhaps the most powerful and fascinating organ of every individual. Anything and everything we think, feel, process and plan in daily life is anchored by our mind. Any significant distress in the mind can lead to disorders which can be very disabling to the individual and their families. Fortunately, many mental health disorders can be treated or kept under control with various pharmacological and psychosocial interventions to enable the subjects to function efficiently.

Clinical psychologists help people who are struggling with mental, emotional, social, and behavioural disorders by applying their extensive knowledge and expertise in assessment, diagnosis, treatment and prevention.

RObserving and Interviewing

Clinical psychologists interview patients in a mental health facility before conducting diagnostic tests. Asking questions, interacting with patients and observing them in play are some of the strategies these professionals use to detect their mental characteristics. At times, clinical psychologists use answers from patients to evaluate problems that are confusing or worrying, offering alternative ways of interpreting and understanding them.

Counselling and guidance

A clinical psychologist counsels individuals, informing them about their progress and the importance of adhering to their treatment programs. This helps modify the patient’s behaviour, which in turn improves personal and social adjustment. These psychologists also evaluate the effectiveness of counselling and treatment procedures, determine their accuracy and completeness of diagnoses and make modifications when necessary.
