Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders, and it can severely impact an individual’s daily life. Dr. Sambeet Patra’s approach to treating depression is a comprehensive one, focusing on both psychological support and medication management.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a core component of treatment. It helps patients identify negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more realistic perspectives.
Antidepressant Medication is often prescribed to correct chemical imbalances in the brain, alleviating feelings of hopelessness and sadness. Dr. Patra tailors the medication plan based on the individual's symptoms and needs.
Additionally, psychotherapy offers a safe space for patients to explore their feelings and triggers, providing long-term coping mechanisms.
Anxiety can take many forms—generalized anxiety, panic attacks, or social anxiety—and it can hinder a person’s ability to function normally. Dr. Patra utilizes an integrated treatment plan combining both therapy and medication to manage anxiety.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps patients confront and change anxiety-driven thoughts and fears.
Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and mindfulness are incorporated into the treatment plan to promote mental calmness and alleviate physical symptoms of anxiety.
Anti-anxiety medications (like SSRIs or benzodiazepines) may be prescribed when needed to help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder that impacts how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. Treatment for schizophrenia is ongoing, with a focus on symptom management, reducing relapses, and improving functioning.
Antipsychotic medications are typically prescribed to manage the symptoms of schizophrenia, such as delusions and hallucinations.
Dr. Patra works with patients using psychotherapy to address social and emotional functioning, helping them improve their interpersonal relationships and daily life skills.
Additionally, family therapy and support groups are encouraged, as they play a crucial role in long-term recovery and social integration.
Addiction to substances such as alcohol, drugs, or other behaviours (e.g., gambling, internet addiction) requires specialized care. Dr. Patra offers de-addiction treatment that includes a combination of therapy and support.
Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) helps individuals understand their addiction and the reasons behind their behaviour. It focuses on increasing motivation to change.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is also used to identify the negative thought patterns that drive addictive behaviour, replacing them with healthier coping strategies.
Dr. Patra emphasizes aftercare and relapse prevention strategies to ensure sustained recovery and avoid triggers.
Dementia is a term used to describe a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and social abilities. Dr. Patra focuses on managing symptoms and maintaining cognitive function.
Medication, including cholinesterase inhibitors, is prescribed to help manage symptoms and improve memory.
Cognitive therapy is used to keep the brain active, helping delay the progression of symptoms.
Dr. Patra also involves the patient's family in the treatment process, educating them on how to support the individual and create a safer environment.
Epilepsy requires long-term care to manage seizures and ensure the individual’s safety. Dr. Patra offers a comprehensive management plan for epilepsy, including:
Anti-seizure medications (also called antiepileptic drugs or AEDs) are tailored to each patient based on the type of seizures and their frequency.
Dr. Patra regularly monitors treatment progress, adjusting medication dosages as necessary to ensure optimal seizure control.
He educates patients on lifestyle adjustments that can minimize seizure triggers, such as stress management, proper sleep, and avoiding alcohol or drug use.
Sexual health issues can affect individuals’ relationships and overall well-being. Dr Patra offers a multi-faceted approach to treating sexual disorders through counselling and therapy.
Sex therapy is used to address emotional or relational factors contributing to the disorder, such as performance anxiety, sexual dysfunction, or low libido.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is also implemented to challenge negative beliefs or anxieties related to sex.
Dr. Patra also discusses medication management, including hormonal therapy or erectile dysfunction medications, when necessary.
Bipolar disorder is characterized by extreme mood swings, including manic and depressive episodes. Dr. Patra offers a comprehensive treatment plan for managing bipolar disorder.
Mood stabilizers such as lithium or anticonvulsants are often prescribed to regulate mood fluctuations. Antidepressant medications may be combined with mood stabilizers to manage depressive episodes.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to help patients cope with mood swings, recognize triggers, and develop coping strategies to manage the disorder effectively.
Dr. Patra also incorporates psychoeducation to help patients, and their families better understand the condition and recognize early warning signs of episodes.
OCD is a condition characterized by unwanted repetitive thoughts (obsessions) and behaviours (compulsions). Dr. Patra provides effective treatment options for OCD:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), particularly Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), is one of the most effective forms of therapy for OCD. It helps patients face their obsessions without engaging in compulsive behaviours.
Dr. Patra may also prescribe Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), which are effective in treating the anxiety and compulsions associated with OCD.
Support groups and family therapy are included in the treatment plan to address the emotional impact of OCD on relationships and daily life.
