Our Services cover the following areas:

Adult Services

Psychiatric Disorders, minor and major (except excitement) are evaluated and treated at the Policlinic. There are three consultant psychiatrists in the team.

The Department of Psychiatry at Peejays Policlinic, Kochi, Kerala perceives psychiatry as the application of neurosciences to a person’s day-to-day problems which may include-

Sleep problems | Fatigue, Tiredness | Headache, Backache | Chest pain, Muscle pains | Somatoform symptoms| Fibromyalgia | Giddiness, Unsteadiness | Palpitations | Breathlessness, Choking in the Chest | Butterflies in the Stomach | Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Abdominal pains | Sexual Dysfunctions | Eating Disorders etc.

If these physical symptoms, after investigation by the respective specialist, do not represent a physical disease, then they may constitute psychiatric or psychosomatic disorders- physical symptoms precipitated by the mind.
