Pharmacotherapy is an integral part of psychiatric treatment. Along with counselling and psychotherapy, our Pharmacotherapy in Mumbai completes the treatment in a comprehensive manner. Patients with psychiatric illness have both structural and neurochemical changes in the brain. These scientifically proven chemical changes can be corrected with the help of medicines through our Pharmacotherapy in Mumbai.
Some of the class of psychotropic drugs commonly used are SSRI, SNRI, TCAs, Antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, benzodiazepines, etc. These medicines act on the body just like any other medicine. They are not really cardiotoxic or cause damage to the liver and kidney as thought. This is a rare phenomenon and that too with few of the medicines.
