FAQs
What's the difference between psychotherapy and psychiatric treatment?
Psychotherapy is a structured, evidence-based psychological treatment delivered through regular talk sessions with a trained mental health professional, focusing on understanding thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and developing healthier coping strategies. Psychiatric treatment typically involves medical evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management by a psychiatrist. At Parth Hospital, these are not separate—psychotherapy may be used as a standalone intervention for certain conditions or integrated with psychiatric treatment when needed, addressing both psychological and biological aspects of mental health together.
How many therapy sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on several factors including the nature and severity of your concern, your readiness and motivation, ability to engage with the therapeutic process, and consistency in attending sessions and applying strategies. Each session typically lasts 45–60 minutes and is usually scheduled once per week, though frequency may vary based on need. Your treatment plan is reviewed regularly and adjusted as required—there’s no fixed number that applies to everyone.
What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and how does it work?
CBT is one of the most widely used, evidence-based forms of psychotherapy. It’s based on understanding that thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are closely connected, and unhelpful thinking patterns can lead to distressing emotions and ineffective behaviors. CBT focuses on identifying automatic and unhelpful thoughts, understanding how these influence emotions and actions, testing and modifying thinking patterns, and developing practical strategies to handle difficult situations. It’s collaborative, structured, goal-oriented, and focuses on what is helpful and effective for you—not “right” or “wrong” thinking.
Is psychotherapy about becoming dependent on a therapist?
No. The aim of psychotherapy at Parth Hospital is empowerment through understanding and skills, not dependency. Therapy focuses on helping you develop healthier coping strategies, improve problem-solving skills, and build long-term emotional resilience so you can better manage life’s challenges independently. The goal is for you to understand yourself better and learn effective ways to cope—not to create an ongoing need for therapy.
Can psychotherapy help with conditions like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder?
Yes, though it works differently depending on the condition. For severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia, psychotherapy serves as supportive therapy integrated with psychiatric medication management. For conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or eating disorders, psychotherapy may be beneficial either as a standalone intervention or combined with psychiatric treatment, depending on severity. At Parth Hospital, when needed, psychotherapy is integrated with psychiatric consultations, inpatient care, medication management, and family education to ensure comprehensive care.
