What we treat

Mental health conditions are medical conditions. They are common, they are treatable, and seeking help early makes treatment easier. We provide assessment and treatment for:

01. Adult Psychiatry

Depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, sleep problems, and stress-related conditions.

02. Child & Adolescent Psychiatry

ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, learning difficulties, school refusal, and behavioural or emotional problems in children and teenagers — with Dr. Anita Daund.

03. Deaddiction

Alcohol, tobacco, and other substance use disorders. Addiction is a treatable brain condition, not a moral failure. Confidential, judgement-free care.

Your first visit, step by step

Many people delay seeing a psychiatrist because they don't know what to expect. Here is what actually happens.

A conversation, not an interrogation

The doctor listens to your concerns in a private room. You share only what you are comfortable sharing.

A careful assessment

Questions about sleep, mood, thoughts, physical health, and daily life help the doctor understand the full picture.

A plan you understand

If treatment is needed, the doctor explains the options, therapy, medicines, lifestyle changes, or a combination, and answers your questions.

Follow-up at your pace

Mental health treatment is a partnership over time, not a one-day event.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to what people usually wonder about, before booking their first visit.

Do I need a referral to see a psychiatrist?

No. You can book a consultation directly.

Is seeing a psychiatrist only for "serious" problems?

No. Sleep difficulties, persistent stress, low mood, and worry are all valid reasons to seek an opinion. Early help usually means simpler treatment.

Will I definitely be put on medicines?

No. Treatment is decided together after assessment. Some conditions respond to therapy and lifestyle measures; others benefit from medicines. Nothing is prescribed without explaining why.

Do you see children and teenagers?

Yes. Dr. Anita Daund is a child and adolescent psychiatrist with post-doctoral fellowship training in this field.

Is my information kept confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality is a core part of psychiatric care, within the limits of law and safety.
