Assessments in the same centre

Dr. Mohanty works with psychologists, a remedial educator and an occupational therapist at Mannshakti. IQ, ADHD, autism and learning assessments are done in the same centre, so families don't need separate referrals across Thane.

What to expect at your first visit

The first consultation is about understanding the problem and reaching a clear diagnosis. Dr. Mohanty asks about symptoms, sleep, work or school, family and medical history, and explains her assessment in plain language.

Medication is prescribed only when clinically indicated, and is discussed with you first. Where therapy or an assessment would help, it is arranged within the centre. Everything you share is confidential.

Frequently asked questions

What does a psychiatrist do?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who diagnoses and treats mental health conditions. Unlike a psychologist, a psychiatrist can prescribe medication and check whether a physical illness is contributing to the symptoms.

Does seeing a psychiatrist mean something is seriously wrong with me?
No. Most people who consult a psychiatrist have common, treatable problems such as anxiety, low mood, poor sleep or stress.

Do I need a referral to see a psychiatrist in Thane?
No. You can book directly by calling 98205 50228.

Will I have to take medicines?
Not always. Many conditions are treated with therapy alone or with therapy and medication together. The options are explained before any decision is made.

Do psychiatric medicines have side effects?
Any medicine can. Most side effects are mild and settle within the first few weeks. Dr. Mohanty explains what to watch for and adjusts the dose or the medicine if needed.

Are psychiatric medicines addictive?
Most are not, including antidepressants and mood stabilisers. A few sleep and anxiety medicines can cause dependence, so they are used for short periods and under supervision.

How can I help a family member who refuses to see a psychiatrist?
Start by listening without arguing, and suggest a single visit with no commitment. A family member can also book a consultation alone to get guidance on what to do next.

Does Dr. Mohanty treat children as well as adults?
Yes. She has fellowship training in child and adolescent psychiatry and sees patients of all ages.

Is the consultation confidential?
Yes. For teenagers, what is shared with parents is discussed with the young person first.

Can I consult online?
Yes. Online consultations are available for patients who can't visit the Thane West clinic.
