Understanding Our Approach to Psychiatry & Counselling

Psychiatrists are certified doctors with formal medical training to diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medications alongside the right therapies. A psychologist, on the other hand, can only provide therapy and counselling. They are not certified to prescribe any form of medication.

Choosing between the two experts depends on the nature of your mental health issue, individual needs, and personal preferences.

There are several ways to keep your mental health in check during tough times. You can:

  • Practise mindfulness
  • Indulge in regular exercise
  • Engage in your favourite hobby
  • Focus on mindful, healthy eating
  • Build good social connections

You can also benefit from our tailored mental health treatments and counselling sessions.

Absolutely! We adhere to strict ethical guidelines and maintain confidentiality with all our consultations and treatments. You can trust our experts to protect your personal information. Your privacy is our priority!

Addiction, in simple terms, is the inability to stop using or doing something to the point where it could become harmful to you. It does not happen overnight. Rather, addiction has a five-stage loop:

  • Stage 1: Experimenting with a substance (alcohol, cigarettes, etc.) out of curiosity or due to peer pressure.
  • Stage 2: Regularised and increased frequency of use as a coping mechanism.
  • Stage 3: Risky usage where the substance begins impacting routine life, relationships, and responsibilities.
  • Stage 4: Dependence, where the body and mind become fully reliant on the substance, causing withdrawal symptoms.
  • Stage 5: Addiction, when the person loses control and continues using the substance despite significant negative consequences.

Fortunately, help is available, no matter what stage of addiction the person is going through. Early intervention can help prevent further damage to the body and ease the recovery process.

At Porunai Hospitals, Tirunelveli, we offer expert guidance, medical treatments, and therapies to help you regain your everyday life and eliminate your addiction for good.
