Psychiatry is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental, emotional and behavioral disorders. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in mental health, including substance use disorders.

At Galaxy Hospital, Varanasi, our Psychiatry Department offers comprehensive, confidential, and compassionate mental health care for patients of all ages. As one of the trusted mental health centres in Varanasi, our qualified psychiatrists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, PTSD, and substance use disorders. We believe mental health is just as important as physical health, and our team is dedicated to creating a safe, stigma-free environment where every patient feels respected, supported, and empowered on their path to recovery.

Our Psychiatry Department provides a full spectrum of evidence-based treatments tailored to each patient’s individual needs — including psychopharmacology, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), counselling, and de-addiction programs for alcohol and drug dependency. We work closely with neurologists, physicians, and social workers in a multidisciplinary approach to ensure holistic care for both the patient and their family. At Galaxy Hospital, we are committed to breaking the stigma around mental health in Varanasi and Eastern Uttar Pradesh — because seeking help is a sign of strength, and every mind deserves to heal.
