The duration of a therapy session is between 40 min to 60 min and for a Psychiatric consultation its upto 30 min. Once a week sessions are the standard for individual counseling, though clients are welcome to seek more frequent sessions if they are in crisis or want greater insight.

We do offer online sessions via google meet/teams/WhatsApp/facetime. Duration of these sessions are as long as in clinic sessions.

Not all medications given are life long, in fact majority of the patient treated for psychiatry problems get off their medications in due course of time or are off medications when they are fine. Some patients may have to take medications for considerable period of time and even lifelong but they form a smaller portion of the patients seen by psychiatrists.

Remember that many physical illnesses too need medication for lifelong like diabetes, hypertension.

No, not all medicines prescribed by psychiatrists are addictive. Some medications are used to treat mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, and these medications are not necessarily addictive. In some cases, these medications are used to help manage symptoms and improve a person's mental health without becoming addictive.

The medications which cause addiction belong to a group of medications called benzodiazepine which are used by psychiatrists for treating anxiety problems, disturbed sleep, aggression etc. They must be used continuously only for up to 4 weeks and then tapered off and stopped. 

​

Remember doctors of other specialty also use benzodiazepines for various conditions and psychological problems you might just not be aware of it.

Always ask your doctor if the medications you are receiving can cause dependence. It's also the responsibility of a doctor to tell you about dependence potential of medications.
