Beyond the diagnosis.

We don’t just ask what the illness is. We ask why it is happening, and what will help you recover.

What do you need help with?

Integrated, evidence-based psychiatric care for children, teenagers, adults and older adults.

The doctor

Dr. Rahul Singh Josan

Consultant Psychiatrist · MBBS, MD (Psychiatry)

Every person is different. Care starts with a thorough assessment and an individual plan, and continues with evidence-based treatment and regular monitoring.

Our care goes beyond treating symptoms. We work towards restoring emotional well-being, strengthening families, and helping each person return to a meaningful, fulfilling life.

Treat. Restore. Rehabilitate. Empower.

Recovery is more than the absence of symptoms. Care continues until you regain your footing, and families are helped to become an informed, supportive part of it.

  • Confidence
  • Functionality
  • Emotional balance
  • Independence
Care for children

Children rarely say “I feel anxious” or “I can’t concentrate”. It shows up as tantrums, falling marks, stomach aches before school or a child who has gone quiet. We assess the child, the family and the school picture together, and parents stay part of every step.

  • ADHD
  • Autism spectrum disorder
  • Oppositional defiant disorder
  • Bedwetting (enuresis)
  • Behavioural difficulties
  • Anger and emotional dysregulation
  • Stress and anxiety
  • Social withdrawal or isolation
  • School-related difficulties
Child psychiatrist in Amritsar
Care for teenagers

Exam pressure, friendships, phones and growing up all land at once. It can be hard to tell a phase from something that needs help. We see teenagers with respect for their privacy, and agree with them and their parents what gets shared.

  • Anxiety disorders
  • Depression and mood difficulties
  • OCD
  • ADHD
  • Behavioural concerns
  • Anger and emotional dysregulation
  • Academic and performance stress
  • Social difficulties
  • Self-esteem and identity concerns
  • Sleep difficulties
Adolescent psychiatry in Amritsar
Care for adults

Work, money, marriage and family responsibilities leave little room to stop and ask for help. Many adults come to us after months of trying to manage alone. A first visit is a conversation: what is happening, since when, and what has been keeping it going.

  • Anxiety spectrum disorders
  • OCD
  • Depression
  • Schizophrenia and psychotic disorders
  • Bipolar and mood disorders
  • Neurotic disorders
  • Personality disorders
  • Sleep disorders
  • Sexual health-related psychological concerns
  • Stress-related disorders
Psychiatrist for adults in Amritsar
Care for later life

Forgetfulness, low mood, poor sleep or suspicion in an older parent is often put down to age. Some of it is treatable. We look at the whole picture, including other illnesses and the medicines already being taken, and keep the family involved.

  • Depression and anxiety
  • Mood disorders
  • Psychotic disorders
  • Sleep difficulties
  • Memory and cognitive concerns
  • Behavioural changes
Psychiatric care for older adults in Amritsar
Crisis intervention and stabilisation

Focused support during acute psychological distress, helping a person regain emotional stability, safety and a sense of control. Call the clinic before you come. If someone is in immediate danger, call 112.

Understanding the “why”

Two people with the same diagnosis rarely have the same story. We look at what is happening beneath the surface, and build treatment around it.

  • Biological

    Brain chemistry, genes, sleep, physical illness, medicines.

  • Psychological

    Thoughts, emotions, past experiences, ways of coping.

  • Behavioural

    Habits and patterns that keep a difficulty going.

  • Environmental

    Family, work, school, relationships, stress.

Evidence-based. Individualised. Multimodal.

Treatment is tailored to the person. Depending on clinical need, we combine psychotherapy, medicines and advanced modalities.

Talking therapies
  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
  • Motivational Interviewing (MI)
  • Behavioural interventions
Medicines

Psychiatric evaluation and medication where it is clinically needed, with regular reviews of response, side effects and how daily life is going.

Advanced modalities
  • tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation)
  • Vagus nerve stimulation
  • Muscle stimulation
