For parents and caregivers

Child and adolescent mental health: signs parents should notice

Children rarely say “I am anxious.” They show it — through behaviour, sleep, school refusal, stomach aches, or a sudden change in friends and interests. A child psychologist or child psychiatrist reads those signals in the context of the child’s age, family, school and development.

Ask about child and adolescent care ↗
Emotions

Child anxiety or persistent low mood

Frequent fear, withdrawal, irritability, unexplained aches, sleep changes, loss of interest or talk about death deserve calm attention and professional guidance.

Attention and behaviour

ADHD, impulsivity or school difficulties

Good assessment looks across home and school, considers learning and sleep, and never labels a child from one behaviour or one questionnaire.

Teen mental health

Teenage depression, self-harm or school refusal

A marked change in mood, friends, sleep, attendance, eating or safety may need assessment. Self-harm or inability to stay safe requires urgent support.

Parent guidance

Signs a child may need a psychologist

Seek help when distress persists, disrupts development or daily life, or leaves the child or family unable to cope. Early support does not require a diagnosis.

Questions people ask before seeking care

Mental health treatment: common questions

Clear answers make the first step feel less uncertain. These remain educational and cannot replace an individual assessment.

What are the most common mental health conditions in India?

Depressive and anxiety disorders are the most common, together affecting an estimated 90+ million Indians in Global Burden of Disease modelling. OCD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, schizophrenia, eating disorders, insomnia and substance-use problems are also frequently seen in clinics. A condition is identified by a clinically meaningful pattern over time — never by a single symptom.

How do I know if I need to see a psychiatrist or a psychologist?

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can assess physical and mental health together, make diagnoses and prescribe medication. A psychologist provides psychological assessment and therapy. Severe, persistent or recurring symptoms, medication questions, or diagnostic uncertainty point towards a psychiatrist first; many people ultimately benefit from both, working together.

Can I get diagnosed using this website?

No. These guides explain recognised patterns, diagnostic frameworks and treatment options, but a diagnosis needs a proper clinical assessment — duration, severity, physical health, medicines, safety and personal context all matter. Use these pages to understand what you are experiencing and to prepare for a consultation.

Does Dimaagi offer online consultations?

Yes. Dimaagi offers online psychiatric and psychology consultations across India, alongside in-person care at Channi Himmat, Jammu. Message the team on WhatsApp for current availability and fees — and keep clinical details for the consultation itself rather than the chat.

Are mental health problems treatable?

Yes — this is the most important fact on this page. Evidence-based psychological therapies, medication where appropriate, and practical support help most people improve significantly. Earlier assessment usually means simpler treatment, so persistent symptoms are worth acting on now rather than later.

Is my consultation confidential?

Mental-health care is handled with professional confidentiality, subject to legal and safety exceptions. Ask the clinic how records and online sessions are handled before sharing details. WhatsApp is a third-party service, so use it only to arrange appointments.

What does a first appointment at Dimaagi look like?

A first consultation is a structured conversation: what has been happening, for how long, how it affects sleep, work, study and relationships, relevant physical health and medicines, and what you want help with. You do not need a diagnosis, a referral or perfect words to book one.

How were the conditions on this page ordered?

They are ordered by how often people in India actually search for each condition, based on published search-trend research — depression and anxiety first, followed by ADHD, whose searches in India have more than doubled since 2019. The order is about information demand, not about which condition is more serious.

Separate from appointment booking

Need urgent help now?

If you or someone else may be in immediate danger, may act on thoughts of suicide or self-harm, is severely confused, cannot care for basic needs or cannot stay safe, call India’s emergency number 112 or go to the nearest emergency department now.

For free 24×7 tele-mental-health support in India, call Tele-MANAS 14416 or 1-800-891-4416. Dimaagi’s phone, WhatsApp and website are appointment channels, not emergency services.
